Dear FontStructors,<\/p>\n

Peace, love and fair bricks to you all.<\/p>\n

By popular demand, and with all the additional\u00a0bricks<\/a> and other improvements in the\u00a0HTML5 FontStructor<\/a>, it\u2019s high time\u00a0for a new competition.<\/p>\n

The theme this time around is \u201cReverse<\/strong>\u201d which you are welcome to understand in any sense e.g. inverted, backwards, opposite, negative, or however else you wish\u00a0to interpret it \u2013 literally or metaphorically.<\/p>\n

Remember to tag your entry with \u201cReversecomp<\/strong>\u201d before the 8th\u00a0of July\u00a0and don’t forget to upload a sample image.<\/p>\n
