Thanks - got this part but did you actually design all letters one by one, or did you just feed it with all the fonts you mentioned as inspiration and YOLO? Can’t imagine how to give feedback to the curves when they live in the code and are not visualised…
 help



If the designed used an LLM, it’s easy to say “no, make the dot on the i slightly elliptical, and round the bottom left corner of the B a tiny bit more”, etc.

I’m doing lots of CAD work this way, where previously I’d be drawing in rhino but not operating from durable product briefs.


With this project I have an easy way to visualize individual glyphs on which I'm working. My workflow was to simply edit the glyph code itself, tweaking the formulas or functions and instantly plot it to see how it would look like.
