The Humpty A

In mine own typeface, Quinoa Round,
I trod on this uncharted ground,
not knowing whether it would feed
a Greek typographer's fair need.
No actual use I have yet known,
though if some sample you should own,
I would be keen to be so told.
Your word shall be weighed up in gold.

The t, as writ in lower case,
with quick an outstroke it doth chase
the letter that doth follow next.
I wonder who first drafted text
in which the t stands like a pole.
No doubt some nincompoopish troll
then called it travesty, or worse:
impossible to read in verse.
Yet nowadays with pride we count
Futura as a splendid fount
that child and sage alike can read
with comfort and unhampered speed.
If we applied this spirit bold,
a kindred story might be told
about our fetching domed designs
for these precise Hellenic signs.
