I chose Uncial for this exercise, with the lines closely spaced. My intention was to produce an overall dense pattern with no inter-word spaces and with each new line starting in the middle of the preceding word, as necessary, to maintain the flow.
I wrote this without preparation just as the names of my favourite pianists came into my head. Mostly, I alternated jazz and classical pianists to create some kind of balance. When I reached the last three lines, I paid more attention to the length of the names, juggling them so that I would end the block of lettering, cleanly.
The subject, of course, could be anything, it's great fun to do, and is excellent practice.
Someone suggested that the design would make a good beer mat!
