I'm 68 (yes, born in 1952 while Harry Truman was still president), and a newcomer to font design. As a retired engineer, I have a few concepts about welding together analytic geometry, rigorous geometric constructions, and long-standing heuristics to try to create something that's both aesthetically and mathematically pleasing. (Pause here for laughter to die down.) Anyhow...thanks for having me.
