    Amusing stuff. It reminds me of a book I recently received, illustrated by Milton Glaser.

    The title of the book in question is The Alphazeds, where the latin alphabet is the star of the show. Each character corresponds to an existing typeface, say Bodoni, Futura, etc.

    This book is available from approximately $14 in most online bookshops.

    I’ve put it in my links since the first time I saw.

    Letters are really characteres with personality..
