#generating #letters with code. Introduction to ◷Radius ◱Scale, ▱Skew, ⤲Couple. #Symbolfont #SYFF #Concept. (Orbital Dyn. reveal later, needs more work) #typography #font #lowercase ImageImage
#generating #letters with code. Here are two "o" letters, one is more squared than the other, an additional function was needed ⟏ Constraint (ANC, HZN, VRT), that limits the anchor movement during ▱Skew. We will use the first variant of the letter. Image
Continuing with the font design, here's e,f,g
#algorithmic #typography #font

The #open_eye "e" with straight finial,
the letter "f" also featuring a straight terminal with a #raised_ear.

With the most boring "g". We might look into an alternative for that. ImageImage
Alternative looptail "g" #algorithmic #typography #font ImageImage
Minor corrections to "g" more balanced ear geometry, and thicker counter to link (2 to 1.5) #algorithmic #typography #font Image
#FontDesign continues and here are letters "hijk", we kept the looptail "g" - ear curve, for the salient terminals of "i" and "j". Notice the ◷Radius function needed (RadInit, RadTerm) to get partial curves. #algorithmic #typography #font Image
#FontDesign continues and here are letters "m" with it's alternative - including terminal - and "n" #algorithmic #typography #font Image
#FontDesign continues and we are testing the #variation, still not happy about the letter "b" at curve: ⤲(-68%,250%) where the bowl joins the ascender. #algorithmic #typography #font Image
#FontDesign testing the #variation
#AlgorithmicTypography continues! Define a shape and its partials. Letter generated - left - by the #SYFF partial definitions - right. The glyph definition - bottom. This is the concept of #vias and #traces in reusable #partials. Auto tracing of ⇆ Parallel via pairs or verbose. Image
Size comparisons for #onchain compression. Image
#font #design continues and here is "pqrs". With "r" borrows the ear from "f" and "s" is a mirrored duplicated "e". Image
#font #design continues and here is "tuv". I figured "u" needed to be a little narrower than "o" Image

#Advent #merchandising #Free #font #designers creators, in your license, when it comes to mass audience, remember to add a clause that says, "be a sport and add us in credits we spent 4 years making this font". #Matrix #Resurrections #NoCredit #Simulatte ...ooh thermal mug! 🙃





Like for example here is @1001fonts credit, that I can go and update at any moment.
@1001fonts Responsive vendors and clients are important when distributing digital goods, don't go all in on extremely permissive licenses, your work is worth it, it will be noticed, set your license properly.
