Been having a play around with a text effect and wondered what is the best word to use for a text effect, I'm after a word that has a good balance between straight and curved letters but also includes a balance of letters going above and below the writing line ( Not sure what these are called but example letters would be p & t.)

Ascenders and descenders.

"Gimp", "Gimped Text", "zythum" (an early form of beer)

I think if I try to pronounce it, I get a lump in my tongue. :rofl
Interesting finding Issabella.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilliogogogoch It is the second longest place name in the world. The place of honor it carries a hill in New Zealand's North Island to the Maori called Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenua ;)

My brain stubbornly refuses to go past the first 4 letters so the town is Llan and the hill is Tauma. Don't judge me. What's wrong with Bob?
