A goofy font I made
At the beginning of 2026 I decided I wanted a whole-year calendar poster. I coudn't find one that was just what I wanted so I decided to draw my own. In the process of making that calendar, I ended up creating some unique letter and number forms, which I think ended up looking cool. I decided I should make them into a font, which of course is much more complicated than I initially thought. Thankfully there was some helpful documentation available from Vladar's Blog as well as from FontForge and I had already worked in Inkscape quite a bit.
Now this font is real and available here. The glyphs are blocky (originally, the capital forms were based roughly on the strategy of taking away as little from a square as possible to make a legible letter). The uppercase and lowercase glyphs are different widths (as are many of the punctuation marks), so it's not monospace. The font is extremely heavy and certainly not an everyday font, but it might be fun for a project you're working on.
