Ok. Let's get this shit rollin'.
Pick a word from:The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy God.
Uppercase or lowercase, your call. here's a little template to use if you want.

I want: Quick

Was it decided to go for a certain style, or is it still just a free for all?
- ESKEMA0
Nothing has been decided. Pick a word, do it and we'll figure out later how to proceed.. chaos is as good as any other method.

Fine, I'll do "brown".

God, is mine.

jumps for the opportunity for "jumps"
So what, check back here in a week or so? I'd say anyone can do a word already selected, but it would be nice if others did words not yet selected. it'd be cool to get more options / input before we commit / proceed.

So, any style? Anything goes?

I suggested in the 2009 thread that we go with a geometric style to help keep this coherent from the get-go.

OSFA,
For now, anyone is free to do what they want. The goal discussed in the 2009 thread was to choose from the submissions and work collectively toward completing a face in the selected style.

I'll do "over".
But I think other people should be able to do a word as well, even if it's already taken.
- duckseason0
I'll take lazy.
Are we doing caps and lower?

Looks like it's filling in quite nicely. Just a few letters to go before the first round of words is covered. Though as discussed by myself & ESKEMA, It will be nice to see more than just the necessary entries.
gramme, typist, & other letter lovers, where are you? Come out & play.

I don't think the point was to showcase fonts already made. The point os collaboration. Stick to just one word, not the entire font... What ate we supposed to do with all the characters already done???
