What is your favorite letter?

@hrant:
BTW your П derivation escapes me.

It was perhaps to trivial for you to notice. Since the Hebrew letter "Heth" was supposed to have this sound, a Latinized version of the shape would look like the Russian letter P, if we use the relationship between Shin and the Russian letter Sh as our guide.

@russellm:
Why, the very idea of a favorite letter is antithetical to a type designer.

No, no. The very idea of a favorite letter is antithetical to the craft of type design, and therefore the very idea of a favorite letter should be anathema to a type designer.

If we're going to toss around big words here, let's do it right, people.
