The audience for a good pangram is very niche, but there are many type designers in it.
As many of you know, I started the Daily Pangram 7 years and 8 months ago. I have published an original pangram every weekday since.
I've just hit 2,000, and I think that's all I have in me. It's the end of a ridiculous era.

Congrats, Craig! I’ve enjoyed the ride. That pangram is the perfect way to end it. (BTW, your link to http://dailypangram.tumblr.com/ is broken.)

Craig Eliason · December 2015

Thanks! Will fix the link.

Austin Stahl · December 2015

Quite an achievement! I'll miss these.

Cold turkey?

That's the plan, but I reserve the right to add new ones if my muse returns.

Standing ovation! Your last one with the free jazz aerobic exercise is hilarious and my new favourite in the fonts preview. Thank you for that!
You should make a book with that collection, by the way.

Chris Lozos · December 2015

What a legacy! Thanks for all the fun, Craig!

Tiffany Wardle · December 2015

It would be fun to have access to the original post announcing this on Typophile to share here. Craig you are crazy. 2000? That is something for the record books I'd think. Congratulations!

Hats off Craig! I can't make a single one

Robin Mientjes · December 2015

Congratulations! I enjoyed these thoroughly over the years. Thanks a lot.

I have been quietly enjoying your pangrams, too! Since I am learning sign painting, I recently used one for some lettering practice (I am aware that my spacing of “TOM PETTY” sucks … more practice required).
