About
This is Radio
I regard my fonts basically as advanced “Phone-doodling”. Most of the characters for my fonts are scribbled down by hand (using a ballpoint pen. Preferably a transparent Bic with black ink) in my skecthbook, or is worked out in my head before I got to sleep, just to define the general shapes. I never scan the sketches, I just use them as guides when I recreate them in Illustrator or Fontographer. Then I draw as many characters as I can in Illustrator just to see how they work together. When i’m pleased with the overall look, I import the files into Fontographer. Then I keep tweaking and refining till I get the shapes right.

31/31 Radio FM
Radio is the transmission of signals, by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space. 17/20 Radio SW
The word radio, as a noun, is said to have been coined by advertising expert Waldo Warren. The word appears in a 1907 article by Lee de Forest, was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912 and became common by the time of the first commercial broadcasts in the United States in the 1920s. The term was then adopted by other languages in Europe and Asia, although British Commonwealth countries continued to use the term wireless for many years. 14/17 Radio AM
Originally, radio or radiotelegraphy was called wireless telegraphy, which was shortened to wireless. The prefix radio (in the sense of wireless transmission) was first recorded in the word radioconductor. The world radio wa coined by the French physicist Edouard Branly in 1897 and based on the verb to radiate — in Latin radius means: spoke of a wheel, beam of light, & ray.

Radio AM, 26 / 28 pt.
Electromagnetic waves travel through space either directly, or have their path altered by reflection, refraction or diffraction. The intensity of the waves diminishes due to geometric dispersion, the inverse-square law; some energy may also be absorbed by the intervening medium in some cases. Noise will generally alter the desired signal; this electromagnetic interference comes from natural sources, as well as from artifical sources such as other transmitters and accidental radiators.
