Around the year 1990, Jonah Jones picked up a small sketchbook and painted in it a fantastical alphabet in watercolour, one letter to every page. Later in life he left it for his grandchildren to enjoy. Realising as soon as we came across it that we were holding something unique in our hands, we decided to digitise the whole alphabet to make up posters of the complete Welsh and English alphabets. On the frontispiece of the sketchbook, Jonah had painted the title Alphabetum Romanum Jonah, which we also digitised to use as the title for both alphabets.

Dyma’r wyddor Saesneg. Cyflwynir y gwyddorion fel posteri A3, mewn mowntiau yn barod i’w fframio. Danfonir archebion o fewn 5–10 diwrnod mewn postwyr cardfwrdd rhychiog. Print A3 litho ar bapur sidan 200gsm, mewn mownt cerdyn.

Oddeutu’r flwyddyn 1990, cododd Jonah lyfr braslunio bach i baentio ynddo gwyddor ryfeddol mewn dyfrlliw, un llythyren ar bob tudalen. Nes ymlaen yn ei fywyd gadawodd e i’w wyrion ei fwynhau. Pan ddaethom ar ei draws, gwnaethom sylweddoli mai dyma rywbeth unigryw. Penderfynwyd ddigideiddio’r holl lythrennau er mwyn creu posteri o’r wyddor gyflawn yn Gymraeg a Saesneg. Ar wynebddalen y llyfr braslunio ’roedd Jonah wedi paentio’r teitl Alphabetum Romanum Jonah – cafodd hwn ei ddigideiddio hefyd er mwyn ei ddefnyddio fel teitl y ddwy wyddor.
