Timeline: I want every letter till September 18th per email. Please rename the file with your letter attached at the end (design_a_typeface_A.ai etc.)
Design: Any style you choose, but think if it's much fun to do an H in a pixel font (I'm thinking of you, Horp). Also, please don't send any photos or pictograms or traced handwriting, let's do it well. Remember, it's QBN 2009 vs. QBN 2006 and this thread should end the whining about recent lack of design here.
Process: please post screenshots of your letters here, let's give everyone an insight in the process.
