The WTC Goudy

A G is a wondrous character.
Its lower form has two stories
They are curvy but flat.
A steady hand is required navigating your curves.
Your upper serif is a horn that shrinks as you grow
You come in gift and glory and great.


The Helvitica I i

A sans serif you are
You stand straight as can be
As an upper you have no break
As a lower you pause before before your top point.
You take little room.
Your angles are as straight as your lines


The Avante Garde K

The K is a great letter
After all it leads my name and word king.
Like the law it has a long reaching arm.
While is has a short one to guard itself.
It is straight lines and various angles.
Even when it lacks serifs.

The Slimbach S

Oh S, how do I delight in your ways.
You are full of curves like a dangerous highway.
Even your serifs are curved.
You have your thins and your thick in all the right places.
You come in lower and upper sizes
Like all letter you have uses.
You lead and you follow.
