Ironically, nickel was the name of the Google-internal, ill-fated replacement for GCL. I think it just lives on in blueprint files. I also miss GCL, as quirky as it was. YAML composes poorly.

Does anyone know of generative art for gothic style [drop caps]? I thought it would be neat to generate the curves from a letter instead of relying on a font. I know Gwern.net uses some neat tricks to load a subset of the drop-caps fonts. [
