| From Calligraphy Alphabets Made Easy. |
Today's alphabet is Bookhand Ambigram, which relates to Italic Ambigram from July 12 #163. This alphabet has fewer pairs of letters that are exact rotated versions of themselves; d and p still correspond, for example, but h and y no longer do. You have to start stretching and manipulating the letters to turn e into a, or j into f.

What makes this process really fun is that the brains of the readers are on your side. Just give them a form that looks a little bit like the letter, and they will work it out from the context and their own eyes' desire to make meaning out of images.
