		Alphabet 26 provides the necessary large letters for emphasis at the beginning of the sentence and for denoting proper nouns, an advantage over the exclusive use of an all lowercase alphabet, as recommended at the Bauhaus.
		Alphabet 26 provided an impetus in the fifties and sixties for lettering artists to enliven the typographic scene with the design of biform alphabets.
		Implicit in the republication of Alphabet 26 is the hope that it might prompt typeface manufacturers to produce it for general use and trial.

	Alphabet 26 - Langmaker
		November 1, 1995), was a radical proposal for the redesign of the alphabet.
		The conventional alphabet contains 19 letters that have dissimilar upper and lower case symbols (such as 'A' and 'a') and 7 letters (c-o-s-v-w-x-z) that have identical symbols.
		The plan for Alphabet 26 proposed that of the 19 letters that have dissimilar symbols, 15 letters should use the uppercase designs (the fl letters in the graphic above) and 4 letters should use the lowercase designs (the green letters in the graphic above).

	Bradbury Thompson’s Alphabet 26: A Font System for Early Readers?: Voice: AIGA Journal of Design: Writing: AIGA
		Alphabet 26 could be adopted as a font or font system for early readers.
		Also, if Alphabet 26 were to be used as a system that can be represented by any font, the uppercase "I" set in some fonts, such as Arial, is interchangeable with the lowercase "l"—preventing early readers from identifying letters.
		If Alphabet 26 would prove to help a dyslexics' ability to separate letters and sounds, then it would indeed lead them towards a level where it might be easier for them to learn the normal alphabet.

	Definition of Alphabet 26
		Thompson designed Alphabet 26 to use only one symbol for each of the 26 letters, rather than having dissimilar upper- and lowercase symbols (such as 'A' and 'a').
		This was intended to regularize the letters of the alphabet, making them more logical and intuitive, and also making learning the alphabet easier for children.
		Alphabet 26 does not eliminate uppercase; however, uppercase letters are simply larger versions of their lowercase counterparts.

		Bayer’s 1925 Universal Alphabet is kind of opposite, in that it substitutes a few Uppercase forms into the lower case, and he probably thought it was supremely logical, but it was never made into a font, and never caught on, whereas BT’s idea rapidly spawned many biform fonts in 1950s typositor land.

	Redesigned alphabet - (37signals)
		Alphabet 26 combines the “best” upper and lowercase letters into an alphabet using only 26 symbols.
		There are some good ideas behind Alphabet 26, but other efforts at improvements such as the Dvorak keyboard have shown that simplification and even performance improvements are no incentive for most people to stray from the familiar.
		Actually, that font appears to be the opposite of that Alphabet 26 intended: It has 2 different forms for some characters, and they are all the same height, which makes it harder to learn, not easier.

	The Latin Alphabet
		The Latin alphabet of 23 letters was derived in the 600's BC from the Etruscan alphabet of 26 letters, which was in turn derived from the archaic Greek alphabet, which came from the Phoenician.
		The letters J, U, and W of the modern alphabet were added in medieval times, and did not appear in the classical alphabet, except that J and U could be alternative forms for I and V. A comparison of the Greek and Latin alphabets shows the close relation between the two.
		Alphabets, of course, represent the elementary sounds of speech, which are combined to form syllables, and the syllables into words, expressing speech in terms of a small number of symbols.

	New Statesman - Letters, pray. Is the alphabet the central intellectual advance in human history? Robert Winder ...
		The alphabet, he declares, is "the greatest of all human accomplishments" - and one of the most mysterious.
		The letter A might have begun as a pictogram of an ox's head (the Phoenician word for ox was aleph), which has since been stood on its neck for design reasons; the letter C may have started life as a depiction of a camel's hump, which has toppled on to its back.
		Some would be silly (a word containing 26 Ps, for instance); but still, our language is running on a very low throttle, and uses only a fraction of the words in its tank.

		I love those kinds of fonts for their whimsical feel and your alphabet is very nice but, it is unlikely to catch on as a standard, since I’ve read that reading shapes of words created by the ascenders and descenders allow people to read faster.

		Student is led to find the first letter of the alphabet (A) and place it on the arc at the bottom of the mat.
		Then the student is led to find and place each letter of the alphabet on the arc on the mat on top of the matching letter.
		The only answers the teacher can give are “yes” or “no.” They can ask if the letter is in the first half of the alphabet or they can ask if it is a vowel or a consonant; but they want to guess the letter in as few questions as they can.

		The two copies of the noise-free alphabet are used to maintain the network's ability to classify ideal input vectors.
		To train with noise, the maximum number of epochs is reduced to 300 and the error goal is increased to 0.6, reflecting that higher error is expected because more vectors (including some with noise), are being presented.

	The Development of the Modern Alphabet
		Many languages, such as French, Spanish, English, and German, are written using the 26 letter alphabet known as the Roman alphabet.
		When the Greeks came in contact with Phoenician traders, they borrowed Phoenician symbols to make their own alphabet in about 800 B.C. The Phoenician alphabet used more consonants than the Greeks needed for their language, so they used the extra signs for vowel sounds.
		This alphabet was later adopted by the Romans, who gave it much the same form we use today.

		(26 is called the modulus.) The numbers 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 (which result from shifting v, w, x, y, and z five places to the right) are considered to correspond to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (which correspond to A, B, C, D, and E).
		We are treating the alphabet as a continuous cycle; numbers greater than 26 are replaced by the results obtained by subtracting 26 from them.
		Recall that for a Caesar cipher shift of b (where b is one of 1, 2, 3, , 25, 26), the relationship between ciphertext and plaintext is EMBED Equation.DSMT4 .
