Daniel's List

Today, my sister Nini (named after our aunt recently deceased) sent me a little piece of work her son Daniel Renfro created in the computer lab at school. He was proud of the work and wanted it passed on to his parents, because, as one of the teachers said, "He would like to show them his work."

Looking at this list, I am amazed by his youthful interest in typography, or at least in the allography variety of letters as demonstrated in various typefaces. And in his interest in color as well, his interest in variety. He's starting out well for a youngster. For goodness' sake, he was just a ring-bearer at my daughter's wedding, so he's young for this.

Maybe he has a bright future ahead of himself as a visual poet, a typographer, of an artist. And he has the advantage of being able to place with typefaces at an early age, something that was exceedingly rare for someone of my age, half a century of age.
