An innovative and refreshing take on font design! Almost all other articles that I've come across on font design, are written by graphic designers who are at least moderately 1337 typographers, and who are pretty anal about things like kerning, and who come across as being fairly intolerant of non-designers.
Nice to see an example of how us mere mortal engineers can "design" a font, using a few rough dots, and a whole lot of arguably hacky (but also arguably quite clever) scripts. No doubt there are those who would cringe at the results; personally, I applaud them.
- amygoodchild 3y agoHa yeah I am actually a designer, although I'm very UX focused rather than UI - and I'm definitely not a typographer. I am cringing a bit at the kerning at the moment, it's definitely still a work in progress! I guess though that my goal was to recreate handwriting, rather than to create a font. My handwriting doesn't have great kerning either.
