And we are going to fix that.
Let’s take this quote in Director’s Gothic 250.
by Persian poet Saadi, captured by Abraham Eraly in “The Age of Wrath: A History of the Delhi Sultanate”
Let’s zoom into the first letters.
All the other letters with an upright bar align well.*
Except that ruffian T.
Designers have started to deal with this stubbornness of T in their own ways.
The Federation and Mental Health Coalition (by Pentagram)
In these examples, Pentagram lets the horizontal bar of 'T' hang a little bit like punctuation to align the vertical bar with those from other letters by adding a little bit of outdent.
But we need a more radical solution for this.
Presenting….the new and improved capital letter T.
No more misaligned letters, no more manually outdenting your text to achieve a more harmonious block of text.
There, you have it. You can name this new letter after me. Or not. I have never been one for fame.
*Y - you are next.
Fin.
