IT’S ONLY A LETTER

The subtle serifs that hold the eye at night.

The sharp edges 

it’s geometric feel that makes it align with everything.

So many weights,

so much contrast, 

with only two words.

The space around each letter, 

making more shapes and spaces to fill with intricate design. 

Curves from the leg to the foot of the traditional serifs. 

The ampersand,

that is the most superior to all the other letter forms, 

for it has the most grace. 

The question mark follows it, 

with that little curve above the dot at the bottom.

The off center tittle of the lowercase i in Gill Sans ultra bold.

The inside of an uppercase letter A

Making a perfect triangle.

The O making an almost perfect circle.

Lowercase a making a teardrop shape

inside the beautiful bowl.

Helvetica’s lovely and graceful uppercase R,

which has a slight kick in the bottom of the leg.
