I am an amateur font friend from Budapest, Hungary. Letters are the refuge to me, an escape from the brutality of the world. For I seek harmony and quietude, and beauty in small things. I adopted the LOTR theme for several reasons. One: out of deference to J.R.R. Tolkien. Two: I think I have something in common with his hobbit characters. Three: for practical reasons. It is hard to find good names for fonts not claimed by someone else. Tolkien has a large, untapped source of such potential names. Four: his fine prose serves as neutral text to test my fonts on.
