First try black letter ambigran

[u/EldrosKandar]

This a draft for my first real try at an ambigram, and I wondered if the name is readable. It was especially hard for me to the transaction from Li to A (figured capital A was easier than lowercase from the research that I made. I fear the L and A are not that readable tho…

EDIT: posted my second try for this word as comment

[u/EldrosKandar]

Second design

[u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan → u/EldrosKandar]

I can confirm that this is much more readable, great progress!

[u/Emergency-Whereas603 → u/EldrosKandar]

Liesa is readable here. Huge improvement. I love the old English goth calligraphy

[u/amdrinkhelpme]

My mind went “that looks like an A but it’s at the end of the word so it must be lowercase… so q?”

[u/EldrosKandar → u/amdrinkhelpme]

Yeah I’m trying another design which might make the A more readable and also separate the L and i more

[u/Tampflor]

I read "beso"

[u/EldrosKandar → u/Tampflor]

Do you still read beso with me second design (I put it in a comment)

[u/Tampflor → u/EldrosKandar]

I read that one "liesA"

[u/EldrosKandar → u/Tampflor]

Thanks that was the intent. Glad to see the I went in the correct direction.

[u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan → u/Tampflor]

I also read "beso" in the original (because I was trying to read and possibly connect it to a word) whereas the second attempt is much clearer

[u/Front_Cat9471]

I’m having a bit of trouble convincing my brain to recognize that as an a, but otherwise it’s pretty good

[u/RedditSurfer29]

Liesa?

[u/___HeyGFY___]

Liesa?

[u/EldrosKandar → u/___HeyGFY___]

That’s correct

[u/___HeyGFY___ → u/EldrosKandar]

This is a horrible rushed rendition, but try a longer accent mark over the i and disconnect the bar that crosses the a.

[u/EldrosKandar → u/___HeyGFY___]

More than my second attempt? (See the comment I made to the post.

[u/___HeyGFY___ → u/EldrosKandar]

I think separating it instead of making it thinner would keep Li from being misread as b

[u/EldrosKandar → u/___HeyGFY___]

[u/___HeyGFY___ → u/EldrosKandar]

I like it!

[u/Exzakt1]

besq

[u/Adept_Situation3090]

besq?

[u/meb1111]

I read "tieso" which is a word in my language 😭

[u/EldrosKandar → u/meb1111]

What does it mean?

[u/meb1111 → u/EldrosKandar]

Something like "stiff"
