Capital H is cursed... unconnected pixels, indistinguishable from 'ii' or "II". The concept's cool, but for this one point the wrong choice was made.

- jasonjmcghee 1y agoI'm more concerned about V X Y all being identical. How will I know if it's waxy or wavy?
- throwaway808081 1y agoLike all of language: context. Why would hair be like 80s synthpop, or potatoes be in any way related to a by-product of honey?
- xboxnolifes 1y agoHair can be either waxy or wavy or both.
- IshKebab 1y agoHer long blond waxy hair blew in the wind. Context.
- lelanthran 1y ago> Her long blond waxy hair blew in the wind. Same question as GP - how can you tell if that was meant to be waxy or wavy?
- IshKebab 1y agoFrom the context. Long hair blowing in the wind is a description of beautiful hair. Wavy hair is beautiful; waxy hair is not. This is very obvious to most people.
- Biganon 1y ago"I'll have you know that some people find waxy hair beautifully therefore your example is invalid and I am very intelligent" :nerd:
- jonathrg 1y agoHer wa[]y hair was a challenge for the hairdresser
- IshKebab 1y agoI'm not saying the context always disambiguates it. You can have ambiguous sentences even with perfect fonts.
- oneeyedpigeon 1y agoThe judge delivered an ambiguous sentence.
- PenguinRevolver 1y agoTry reading "HiGh sky buys The lies" in the font. Pretty difficult to make out what it says...
- jibcage 1y agoI think most of what makes this font readable is the user using context to sort of guess at what the word could be. If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’t hold up. Still interesting for a “normal” use case though.
