- mdrzn 4y agoThey really do look like WordArt and ClipArt from 2003, maybe it's the color choices?
- smoe 4y agoTo me it's is not necessarily just the colors, but that with the Arabic script the new features are applied in a more tasteful, subtle way. Whereas the latin examples seem more like showing off what you could do, but probably shouldn't.
- nicoburns 4y agoThe emoji ones also seem to work quite well
- rikroots 4y agoI've posted this link before (as a ShowHN) - this is my attempt to "replicate" color fonts using my JS canvas library. Getting the effects to be both responsive and amenable to user accessibility choices, while also including ways for developers to adapt the effects via CSS and/or HTML data- attributes ... it's frustrating work. But at least they look pretty. https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/demo/snippets-006.html https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/demo/snippets-006.html
- morley 4y agoDesign is highly contextual, so I think it'll depend a lot on how they're used. These fonts seem a lot more polished than what you would find in old-school clip art packs. I can imagine some interesting use cases for these. And even if these fonts don't hit, people will make more!
