What's with the name?

Tittle & Tail. It's a funny name isn't it? Where does it come from?

In typography, a Tittle is the brilliant name for the dot above a lower case i or j...

...and a Tail is the name for the decorative curved descender on a Q, R or K.

In our logo, we added the tail to the L.

We also added a bird because we thought a Tittle sounds like a type of bird or the noise a bird might make.

We nearly used a fox too but felt that was step too far. He might still make an appearance again from time to time.
