My project was to design the typeface for the first letter of each story in the politically correct, updated version of the Panchatantra. Written in, some believe, 300 BC by Vishnu Sarma, the Panchatantra is similar to Aesop’s fables. The author liked the few letters I did, and changed the beginning of each story to include all the letters of the Roman alphabet.
