“[I]n Roman letters . . . all the strokes are not of the same weight; some are thick, some are thin, and the curves show a gradual change from thick to thin. This characteristic was not necessarily designed; it, like the more flowing shape of the letters, came about because the tools which were used in developing the letters gave them that character naturally. The Roman alphabet was developed through writing as compared to drawing.”

—Oscar Ogg, The 26 Letters, 1961.
