The art at the end is quite beautiful. I wonder if the next step is putting this into a real font so that you can type with it in any program...

- ronsor 2y agoIf you already have curves, you can do that quite easily (maybe tediously, if you have to/want to do it manually).
- jacob019 2y agoYes, but she uses different glyphs depending on which letters are next to each other, not sure if that is supported.
- adeon13 2y agoYou could use ligatures: https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/glossary/ligature https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/glossary/ligature
- xp84 2y agoYeah, even "normal" fonts have ligatures (a couple common ones in many fonts are fl and ti though they don't appear to be used in the font being used to render this comment), so this is definitely no technical obstacle if one really wants a font. Obviously a bunch of work to create, but pretty cool to have!
- abdullahkhalids 2y agoFonts have supports for that. I know that the Urdu Jameel Noori Nastaleeq font, has hundreds (maybe more) of complete words hardcoded into the font.
- Ra8 2y agoArabic language letters change based on their position in the word. And there's multiple fonts for it.
- jacob019 2y agoIndeed, I love how she's blending technology and art here.
- Lalabadie 2y agoPlottable fonts are a thing! They're different from the "normal" font we think of, because they need to be a path to be traced instead of an outline to be filled.
