For that reason, I always liked pixel fonts as a way to introduce people to type design. You can learn basic lessons and recover from mistakes so quickly. (For example, the distance between “Crap, I forgot to make room for descenders” to making that room can be just minutes.)

I think I just learned the lesson Will Wright learned when the level editor for another game became more interesting than the game itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_(1989_video_game)#Development … (Or: Build canvases, not demos.)

I wonder if this is the first time in history someone make normal and bold fonts in 14/16 segments.https://twitter.com/chriswearly/status/995062527540252672?s=21 …

Added two more fonts showing different ways of approaching the same problem. I hope someone can help me find a 20-something segment system so that we have every decade represented! https://aresluna.org/segmented-type/ pic.twitter.com/1JYv7rpwhE

Not really, but it was more about me trying to build something physical and just checking out what was out there. Although the +/– 1 in the last photo was a new discovery (and there were many of those!).
Yeah. There were a lot of...fascinating things for calculators. Reading google patents and old electronics catalogs on the archive this afternoon lost me a good few hours.
My mentions are shot; you sent me only two, right?
I may have filtered it down that far. Do you ...want more?
