Ngoẹo
Ngoẹo, pronounced [ŋwɛw], is a backslant script typeface based on Lakeside Script by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler. The name comes from the Vietnamese phrase 'ngoẹo cổ' (twisted neck), a fitting reference to the typeface's angled form and flowing script connections.

Iceland đã giữ mình như 1 hòn đảo không có người ở trong một thời gian rất lâu. Có ý kiến cho rằng 1 thương nhân Hy Lạp cổ đại tên là Pytheas đã tìm ra Iceland và gọi mảnh đất này bằng cái tên Thule, nhưng giả thuyết này không được hợp lý cho lắm vì Iceland hoàn toàn khác với những lời mô tả của Pytheas như 1 đất nước nông nghiệp với rất nhiều sữa, mật ong và hoa quả. Khoảng thời gian chính xác về ngày con người đặt chân đến Iceland vẫn là 1 đề tài gây tranh cãi. Những đồng xu La Mã cổ đại vào thế kỷ III đã được tìm thấy tại Iceland, nhưng không ai dám chắc thời gian mà những đồng xu này được mang đến, vì người Viking cũng lưu hành những đồng tiền như vậy trong nhiều thế kỉ.

My landlord at Reikjavik, the master-baker Bernhöft, told me that only one crime had been committed in Iceland during the thirteen years that he had resided there. This was the murder of an illegitimate child immediately after its birth. The most frequently occurring crime is cow-stealing. I was much surprised to find that nearly all the Icelanders can read and write. The latter quality only was somewhat rarer with the women. Youths and men often wrote a firm, good hand.
They also comprehend very quickly; when I opened my map before them they soon understood its use and application. Their quickness is doubly surprising if we consider that every father instructs his own children, and sometimes the neighbouring or-phans. This is of course only done in the winter; but as winter lasts eight months in Iceland, it is long enough. There is only one school in the whole island, which originally was in Bessestadt, but has been removed to Reikjavik since 1846.
In this school only youths who can read and write are received, and they are either educated for priests, and may complete their studies here, or for doctors, apothecaries, or judges, when they must complete their studies in Copenhagen. Besides theology, geometry, geography, history and several languages, such as Latin, Danish, and, since 1846, German and also French, are taught in the school of Reikjavik.
