When you think of alphabetical characters, you probably think of writing or calligraphy, but the letters of the alphabet are simply line marks that we've assigned special meaning to.
If you ignore the meaning, and make a letter of the alphabet the motif - a string of the same letter clumped together - why then it becomes a pattern, and patterns make excellent texture!
Such patterns tend to draw the eye, as well, because we pay attention to words, and our brain will look for some meaning. It figures out the trick soon enough - but what a way add some subtle interest to your drawing.
