Typography


Max Naylor

Pangram

Texts used to demonstrate typefaces in a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet (a pangram), such as "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
Often used as a design aesthetic tool to demonstrate the personality of a typeface's characters in a setting (because it displays all the letters of the alphabet).

Lao-Tse

Thirty spokes unite at the single hub;
It is the empty space which makes the wheel useful.
Mold clay to form a bowl;
It is the empty space which makes the bowl useful.
Cut out windows and doors;
It is the empty space which makes the room useful.
