I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

a silly sixties-style font. I've got a different notion for the l/c characters which I've yet to get to.

Wayward punctuation again. I'll get to the bottom of it sometime...

A few ungovernable glyphs let this one down. No matter which way I tried to get round it, that crossbar is a killer.This is a clone

Can't decide about that lower-case "s". I might try alternate cap M, W and N using diagonals but now my eyeses are telling me enough.

Outlandish because I've made some fairly ludicrous decisions to get round the one-and-a-half-brick problem. I have done better, ha ha.

I will set myself these impossible and perverse challenges. U/C to follow if I don't go cool on the whole thing.

The L/C is going to be a right bastard. I don't know if I've got the fortitude to continue...

Lately I seem to have been obsessed with right-leaning ovals so this is an attempt to rein myself in. It never ceases to amaze me how important tiny details are, as well as broad strokes. Not that I'm saying I've got all or even any of them right...

Silly me, of course I'm not going to be able to preview the typographer's quotes because my qwertyset isn't primed to receive them. They should work in a program (i.e. InDesign) that's geared up for them.

This program is a kaleidoscope. Just a little shift of a piece and you end up with something different... but the same.

A cross-dressing Compacta. It seems every time a design with a gazillion bricks fails to save (slantfest)I just have to knock off one that uses as few bricks as I can manage. So far both of these "harrumph" reactions have turned out pretty well.
Is this telling me something....?
