“Letters, like all things well-designed, are just tiny parts of the whole. They are foundational elements of written and oral communication. These tiny symbols represent sounds, that when combined in a purposeful way create words, which when combined in a deliberate way communicate a message. They are visual, they are audible, they are meaningful, they are tools, and they are form. They are the art of communication.”
