I just read the article Krazy About K from AIGA’s website. It’s a very nice look into the letter ‘K.’ For most, it may seem a bit indulgent to write an entire blog post about a single letter. However, anyone slightly interested in typography should be highly interested.

The article talks about everything from ‘K’s’ five point value in Scrabble, its origin, its many uses in logo treatments, its pronunciation and many other things. Please, have a read.

There’s also a link from November 07, long before I had time to link it, another great article about a single letter, ‘X.’ You may want to read that, too.
