Being 36 Nonsensical Statements
About One Sans-Serif Alphabet
1. The twenty-six letters are:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V
W X Y Z
2. The six one-stroke letters are:
C I* J O S U
* The serifs appearing at top and bottom of
this letter are inconsistent with the style of this
sans-serif alphabet and must be disregarded
in evaluating these statements.
3. The three four-stroke letters are:
E M W
4. The eight two-stroke letters are:
D G L P Q T V X
5. The nine three-stroke letters are:
A B F H K N R Y Z
6. Only one of
the six one-stroke letters
[ I ]
is made using no curved stroke.
7. Only two
of the three four-stroke letters
[ M W ]
are made using all diagonal strokes.
8. Only three
of the 26 letters
[ E M W ]
are made using four strokes.
9. Only four
of the eight two-stroke letters
[ D G* Q P ]
are made using one straight and one curved stroke.
* The letter G can be, and is in some fonts,
is made using no curved stroke.
[ M W ]
are made using all diagonal strokes.
[ E M W ]
are made using four strokes.
[ D G* Q P ]
are made using one straight and one curved stroke.
* The letter G can be, and is in some fonts,
made with two strokes --
a 270-degree curved
stroke followed by a short horizontal stroke.
The
editor regrets that a font employing such
a two-stroke G was unavailable
for these views.
