Last year I was bothered by the randomness of fonts even in single words and sentences, and started that font guide thing. Immediately afterwards I tried to plan a nicer looking frame for it that can fit more, and have it for this event if anyone wants that or cares.

I also want to get anyone's opinions on changing letters to be better if you have ideas, because I'm sure I'm not the best at this but I want it to be appealing enough to use.

The main 2 things I tried to focus on is readability, and making sure each symbol can fit in 5x3 pixels.

I'm sorry you have to work during the eclipse. I understand that it's moot whether or not you would enjoy it when it isn't something that you have time for anyways, and that would make me frustrated by everyone talking about it too.

I don't really believe you that don't care about any of that tho lol. Maybe not as much as your responsibilities, but no way you don't care at all.

"it's just the moon" is honestly a wild opinion to me.

It's just the massive orb that circles our world through all of known history, which bends the oceans and tectonic crusts with it's movement, that inspired incredible amounts of art and culture, and is about to create a phenomenon which blots out the sun, in an incredible coincidence of size, position and timing, as the latest iteration of a pattern that may well have been the original inspiration for ways of thinking that went on to become the foundation for all of scientific thought. Nbd.

Don't forget local "no camping" laws meant to keep homeless people from sleeping in their cars on public property/public parking.

thanks to @SomeBoyo@feddit.de for helping to finish it, and anyone else who helped.

Neighbors:

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world with the DAFC logo

@RobinSohn@feddit.de made a junimo above

@kira_ananta@lemmy.blahaj.zone working on lower case to my right

 

I've been doing this. Now everyone will know the superior small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels. I challenge you to show me a better small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels!

also I'm still trying to make it look nicer but it was taking a while so I figured I should explain why I made this

shoutout to mvirts@lemmy.world I like your green M

update: not done yet, but I wanted to ask people's opinions on the J. any consensus on which is better?
