The Quick Brown Fox and other pangrams

If you are not sure what to type when you want to showcase your type design, using pangrams is a great way to see all your letters in action. A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter of a given alphabet at least once.

The most famous English pangram: The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog uses 33 letters and has been around since the 1888. Here’s a work in progress of Latin and Cyrillic based languages.
