Good words for sketching letters

Nina Stössinger

I personally like not always using the same word, but it’s certainly good to have them satisfy a number of criteria, like containing as many of the basic shape groups as possible (Hrant, that’s where Rainfrogs is a bit meh: no diagonals or straight extenders). Fun fact, having to come up with words for sketching at TypeMedia is why I first started making the word-o-mat RoboFont extension.
