I’ve written a LOT of bollocksy marketing copy in my time… but their commentaries on where these letters come from are hilarious! Reminds me about a guy I worked with who would tell convincing stories about how things like the door hinge was invented.

But as they’re trying to sell fonts, I can fully understand why they feel the need to offer some content.

ok slightly off-topic – does any one know of site that explains the representation of arabic letters with numbers – i find it incredibely annoying to read a word like 6alabat wth!! to my knowledge these numbers replace a few alphabets like ‘ta’ why not just type those alphabets …..
