Good point, typography time.

 @neauoire Post a screenshot when you finish. π It was a totally valid criticism that Orca's font was so thin that nobody could even read the code projected on the screen, so here's my attempt at a thicker font :) It combines my favourite elements of Input Mono, Chicago and VGA. Not too sure about the 'g' and 'y' ascending line at the bottom, I might remove them so it's more in line with the f which doesn't have one. @rutherford What do you think? Seeing anything that stands out as obvious poor choices? @rutherford Realized that I might as well with curling stroke ends all over the place after all. @neauoire itβs looking good! I might try widening the narrower glyphs like /i /l /r (adding lil foot serifs, etc) for more even-looking spacing. @neauoire @rutherford I really like this, the lowercase letters all look perfect to me, the capital S looks a little thin compared to the others (I like how it curves though and maybe just thickening the ends would help?) And the capital K is a little strange on the bottom. It looks fine in the sentence though, are those 2 different fonts? @kevin @rutherford Yeah, the S is kind of shit, I'll try to square it up a bit. The K looks odd because my cursor is on it haha. If you want criticism, the lower-case 's' kinda looks like it's ready to fall over (no "waistline") |
@neauoire
Time for the Chicago font! π
