Since we've brought this up before, I'll bring up again how "graphic" and "grammar" come from the same root word. "Grammar" comes from "Latin grammatica, from Ancient Greek γραμματική (grammatikḗ, “skilled in writing”), from γράμμα (grámma, “line of writing”), from γράφω (gráphō, “write”), from Proto-Indo-European *gerbʰ- (“to carve, scratch”)."

Re generating a typeface from a few examples of letters, see "Letter Spirit" by Douglas Hofstadter.

"Starting with one or more seed letters representing the beginnings of a style, the program will attempt to create the rest of the alphabet in such a way that all 26 letters share the same style, or spirit."
