I am an amateur font friend from Budapest, Hungary. Letters are the refuge to me, an escape from the brutality of the world. For I seek harmony and quietude, and beauty in small things. I adopted the LOTR theme for several reasons. One: out of deference to J.R.R. Tolkien. Two: I think I have something in common with his hobbit characters. Three: for practical reasons. It is hard to find good names for fonts not claimed by someone else. Tolkien has a large, untapped source of such potential names. Four: his fine prose serves as neutral text to test my fonts on.

This work is based on M.C. Escher's woven ribbon motifs, 1938, 1942. He's made wooden stamps for the basic motifs, and rotated and combined them to create fantastic woven fabric patterns. I've simply taken his idea a step further using combinatorics. Please note, this is a Fontstruct rendering, and as such may differ from the original.
