The quick brown fox jumps over the fence.

March 2, 2011

Sorry guys about the smallie posts today, haven’t been round my computer.

How cool is this fence? Not sure who made it or what’s it’s for, the site it came off of is in another language. But I do know that I like it a crap load.

    It’s a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet and there appears to be a school in the background.

    Site says that it’s a font based on the cells used for this type of fence. Apparently it’s pretty standard. Since it’s a font, it would seem natural to have a ‘lazy dog’ reference.

    It is a Dutch site, but they also have an English website

    One of the first typographic experiments of Autobahn is Tapewriter: a font basing its form to the grid of a football cage. The width of a roll of duct tape, the ‘writing material’, matches the space between two bars of such a cage construction perfectly. The idea behind the font is that anyone who is in possession of a roll of tape, can submit his or her message to the world. Tapewriter clearly demonstrates you can write with anything and any surface can be a sheet.
