Another Doug Hofstadter book! This is so cool. Ambigrams have been one of my fav "things" since I saw them in the GEB book ages ago. FWIW, "Angels and Demons" bestseller thriller (?) has a few ambigram puzzles that the protagonist Robert Langdon solves to get to the mystery of the Rosslyn chapel (my memory may be fading here) --x-- Thanks for this set of amazing fonts! They look amazing. Very glyph-y. And they tickle my inner geek.

On the "Angels and Demons" ambigrams... The artist made such an impression to the book author, Dan Brown, that he (Brown) decided to name the protagonist after him. Here's John Langdon, artist: https://www.johnlangdon.net/ https://www.johnlangdon.net/ Having met John (I showed him the second largest Escher collection), I can confirm he's a wonderful person.
