Description Well, at Kelly's suggestion, I have produced a little word-picture thingy of the sort I like to doodle. I'm not entirely happy about this one, because I wasn't very inspired. Hence putting it in my scraps. Any moment now, I'll start a new one that I thought of halfway through and would have been a much better idea- 'celtic knot', which will combine my newfound celticness with my newfound lettering. I may leave it until tomorrow to submit, though, because it's getting late and I want it to be detailed.


Tell me what you think this one reads and how easy you found it to read. This one's especially difficult because the letters across the bottom would appear to read 'edge', even though that's not the message at all. A lot of them are very counter-intuitive, and I want to know if I need to dial down the vertical mismatching or if I can keep it playful. The clue is that generally, the letters are in the order of how far left-right their lefternmost point is.

man this is a puzzle
"In the Hali Edc" and I know that is wrong
Damn, sorry but I just can't decipher it...
But I still just love it!!! I really doo! Perhaps it is because I suck at letter and envy all who can do it so wonderfully. I love how everything conects! They intertwine so beautifully!!! I just can't get over it.

So what is the real title - there are these two T looking letter at the end of both the bottom words that I can't make out

Thought so. I think when I jump suddenly from the top to the bottom, people tend to read them as two seperate lines, as you have done. Something to note for later, and something I seem to have avoided in my new design.
Actually, it was one word, "Headlight". Hopefully you can see that now I've told you. Although those last two letters are very small. And, looking at it again, there is nothing to say that that's a G as opposed to a C. And it would have looked nicer with a proper cross-bar as well.

i actually debated it being a G because I saw Edge for a while but then I couldn't find an E at the end of Edge so I thought maybe it's a C

AND OMG Headlight!! It is soooo obvious now! OK so I love how you did that but to signify that letters are going up and down to more space between the letters that share the same row, so more space between the H and A for example
Or just type the title and I would have seen it I think! It's brilliant!
Also I don't think that the T and H at the very end should have carried on so long. I would have seen things better then!

Yeah, I know if I type the title, people will automatically be able to read the word, even if they don't get a few letters. But I want to avoid that because, if possible, I want my lettering to be readable.

Well I like when it is a puzzle. It makes it more intriguing!!! With a title, I kinda know what I am looking for and then I can try and match things up when it is difficult to read.

I'm not sure what direction to go in with my writing, whether to make it obvious enough to be a little puzzle, or really unobvious, give people the answers and let them admire how I sneaked the letters in really unobtrusvely. Probably both, with different ones.
