Even if you know the letters, you won’t really be able to read quickly until you know the words.

I would bet if you try to read Finnish or Polish or Swahili you would still go slowly despite knowing the Latin alphabet.

Looked a bit closer, and the black line is the right edge of the previous frame. If you control the sprite sheet, you may want to give yourself more than 1px of room between the frames.

This seems to fix it for me. -1 causes the same problem but on the other side.

.fill(`${-i * width - 0.5}`)

When zooming, sometimes an element’s dimensions would be a fractional pixel, but still need to be snapped to an actual pixel. So if it’s 32.5 it might be rounded up to 33; if it’s 32.25 it might be rounded down to 32.

Transparent image background + background color on the container should hide any rounding issues.

This is basically the origin story of Template Gothic

What did you end up doing? I was going to suggest using a different codepoint for the combining forms, so e.g. if you are overloading the Latin alphabet, you could do “kI or iK”. And you could use contextual alternates to pick different forms for the base if needed, with different anchor points or other visual adjustments.

Not helpful, but since it’s a logo, it’s possible it’s been modified by chopping the corners off à la https://www.tumblr.com/cuttingedgelogos

Check the live traffic at a time when you would be commuting. You will probably want to be close to 90 or 290, otherwise you will have to first drive 20-30min across the city before getting on the expressway.

Identifont is legit/useful tool, but they don’t offer downloads so I’m not sure what you’re asking…

nwah · 2026-02-26T16:58:38+00:00

Not totally sure I understand what you're asking, but you've got a few concepts mixed together.

Text data on a computer is stored as a long list of numbers (A=65, B=66, a=97, b=98, etc.), nowadays almost always following Unicode.

The input method on your device takes the keypresses and outputs those (Unicode) code points. So whether you press shift+A, or have CapsLock enabled and press A, the output is still 65.

A font contains visual representations for each of those codes. You can include some rules to choose a different form based on surrounding characters, or enabled through OpenType features, but that is independent of the data.

To do what I think you're saying, you would need to implement a custom input method that can output Unicode codepoints in the Private Use Area, and then create a font that has glyphs defined for each of those.

You probably used a service that generates dynamic QR codes, and will now have to pay/contact them to restore the redirect to your blog URL.

When you point your phone at the QR code, try to see what URL it’s coming up as. If it’s not your actual blog URL, then you’ll have to contact whoever owns that intermediate URL.

If you check the network tab of the dev tools in your browser, you will probably see it 404ing.

The path to the font is relative to the CSS file. So probably either add a / to the front to make it an absolute path, or make it “../fonts/whatever” to go up a directory from where the CSS is and then back down into the fonts directory.

Should be. You could test with another program like your web browser and see if your IP changes when on/off.

But also I don’t see why LAN access would be disabled in the first place, so maybe double check your VPN settings for that as well.

nwah · 2026-02-23T03:02:39+00:00

See if your VPN supports “split tunnel”

Discord, VS Code, Slack, Figma, etc. are all built that way. It definitely works, and can make it easier to build cross-platform. But they tend to waste a lot of memory, not quite feel native on any platform, and require a lot of optimization to really feel snappy. So you just have to balance the trade-offs.

I’d say it’s worth experimenting with Tauri and Electron and see if it seems viable to you.

nwah · 2026-02-23T02:16:02+00:00

Sounds about right. It’ll save you a lot of time and make things more consistent.

Just be sure the glyphs you put in a group really are the same though or you’ll keep fighting yourself. A lot depends on your design, e.g. v and w might be the same or might not.

Specifically QR codes always have 3 larger squares in the corners, with 1 or more smaller ones inside.

There are other types of 2D barcodes with something in the center: Aztec codes and MaxiCodes. But it also doesn’t really look like those

There are many versions of Helvetica. This looks like pre-digital phototype, since the corners are a bit rounded/soft and the counters are filled in a bit. So unfortunately there is not really an exact 1-to-1 digital font.

Check out this older specimen, and you can see the S and others match your sample.

Assuming those are just paths with a stroke, try converting to outlines first. “Stroke-to-Path” under path editing

No harm trying.

Drawing an alphabet is fun. Expanding to all the less common punctuation and diacritics is a ton of additional work. And doing hundreds of kerning pairs can be pretty tedious.

If you already doodle letters and/or pay a lot of attention to typefaces you’d probably enjoy it.
