My Hand Without Me
My neatness isn’t great. On a website this might not work!
I wrote that on the second of 24 sheets of paper, before this font existed.
Across the sheets, I wrote every lowercase letter ten times, every capital six times, and every number five times, then the punctuation, symbols, and accents. The sheets had me fill each column top to bottom, so I never wrote the same letter twice in a row.
Up to ten drawings of each letter made it into the font, 583 drawings in all. Most of my 1s didn’t. They look like l’s.
Each time a page of this site opens, it picks one drawing for every letter, and a letter never gets the drawing it had last. Nothing is saved, so the next visit is written again.
It can write my name 143,386,951,680,000 ways.
You have been with My Hand Without Me for a minute.
