What's the advantage of such a font? Won't it create issues of its own? For example if my mobile phone's browser wraps text to the next line, wouldn't it "break" the graph?
- tgv 6y agoI think it has limited use, but they explicitly mention lack of space as a motivation. You wouldn't use this for long lines.
- yoz-y 6y agoI'd still recommend a SVG graph behind an outlined text instead of this. The work is impressive though.
- wongarsu 6y agoThat wouldn't interact with the text, like the graph coming through the hole in the D (under one line, over the other). At minimum you would need one SVG above and one below the text, or have the text as part of the SVG and lose any real accessibility benefit over this font.
- asiando 6y agoThere are no advantages. It’s heavy, limited, not very readable. It just looks beautiful and demoes OpenType’s features and the author’s capabilities. Maybe someone will find it useful, but we’re talking about 10 people on earth. Even if you’re just using it for the style on a magazine ad (i.e. without real data points) its very unique look means you can only use it once and the it wears off.
