This started off as an exercise in FS 2.0 ... but I got side tracked and slipped into producing this for some reason.

I know it's all been done before - but I thought I ought to have a go at a 3 square grid myself (just for the experience.

ASL is not a written language, but this font should, hopefully, assist anyone wishing to learn ASL.
The following is a quote from Wikipedia:
"American Sign Language (or ASL, Ameslan) is the dominant sign language of the Deaf community in the United States, in the
English-speaking parts of Canada, and in some regions of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United States share English as a
spoken and written language, British Sign Language (BSL) is quite different from ASL, and the two sign languages are not mutually
intelligible
ASL is often written with English words in all capital letters, which is known as glossing. This is, however, a method used simply to teach
the structure of the language. ASL is a visual language, not a written language. There is no one-to-one correspondence between words in
ASL and English, and much of the inflectional modulation of ASL signs is lost.
There are two true writing systems in use for ASL: a phonemic Stokoe notation, which has a separate symbol or diacritic mark for every
phonemic hand shape, motion, and position (though it leaves something to be desired in the representation of facial expression), and a more
popular iconic system called SignWriting, which represents each sign with a rather abstract illustration of its salient features. SignWriting is
commonly used for student newsletters and similar purposes."

This is based on the Snellen Eye Chart.
The l/c is reversed as opticians sometimes use a mirror to reflect the chart (which is placed behind the patient).This is a clone

An attempt at getting that 'carved in stone' look. A shaded version will probably follow.

As complete as it is likely to get.
Apologies to non-English language users, but adding diacritics would be too big a task (involving between 50 - 150 brick stacks per glyph). If anyone wants a specific diacritic, for a particular use, contact me and I will try to add it.This is a clone of RM Romantic Carved FS1

My first real attempt at a small grid (7 x 7 squares) More an exercise in restraint than a serious design.

An exercise in creating a classical Roman style font in FS
I am currently working on an extended and modified version of this ... which I can't help calling 'New Romantic' (I really should resist these urges).
