So You Want to Write in a Secret Code?


Do you ever get mad at the alphabet? Do you feel like it could give you more? Like the letter “e” just isn’t “e” enough for you? Me too. It’s a common problem. Luckily, it’s suddenly easy as hell to make your own alphabet. Here’s the recipe:

-1 iPad ($500)

-iFontMaker ($7)

-An idea (free or stealable)

I decided to make a font that would display the alphabet as some of the first images that come to mind when you think of a letter. It’s called Apple Font, because “a” is for apple and also I want to be sued by Steve Jobs. You can download it here and use it to write secret notes to your children or to really bother your economics T.A. by using it on assignments.

To give you a sample of what it looks like, I’ve written the basic plot of the show “Bananas in Pajamas.” Can you decode it?
