hello typophilies
I've just finished a project called DAS KAPITAL a classless character
I laugh until my heads come off :-) it seems to be a very current issue ;-)
in a classless society all letters are equal
all 25 of his best friends are important for building the Kapital K
it's up to them to stay in balance and not to collapse

Hi Janno,
Can you tell us more about how you made the ‘cube glyphs’.

Good timing! In some way you're receiving some free publicity, at least it reminds once again about the project you've done.

What's up with the "N"?
Looks like a classless society has its misfits.
And of course, some are more equal than others--A and B are the folks who live on the hill.
W, X, Y and Z: how long will you continue to support the whole iniquitous system?!

well actually N's position is very important in this Kapital
so don't pull it out of the K ! that would make it collapse
it's only the K that's classless (with the help from 25 friends)
and of course the view is better up high
but the lower positions are equally important
;-)

dear pieter
to make one Kapital you need about 250 small wooden planks (triplex)
and a lot of patience to glue them together in the right order . . .

I imagine N hears a lot of abuse from the other letters for standing out, even though it's doing a crucial job and they need it exactly where it is. They probably call it an "Ñ" and tell it to go back to where it came from.
