When we started designing our font, we were thinking of a fitting name
that continued our previously set naming tradition. Our font was very
beautifully proportioned, so of course we decided to name it after a
young lady in our orchestra that we deemed as beautifully proportioned
as the symbols. We called it Feta, whic was an abbreviation of
"Font-en-Tja". The abbreviation also points to my deep love for good
food of all persuasions.
After a while, we realized that this was quite immature of us, and we
could not do this without the lady's permission. So, from then on,
the font was called "Feta - definitely not an abbreviation of
Font-En-Tja" .
The cheese connotation stuck, and naming the ancient font after older
cheese, instead of an older lady, was a natural step.
