Parametric letter works — drawn live, not a font file
Stroke skeletons · three levers · infinite cuts
Every glyph below starts as a bare skeleton of strokes. Three levers — weight, contrast, terminals — inflate that skeleton into a letterform, redrawn live on canvas. Pull them yourself, or hit Recast and the works pours a whole new cut: new proportions, new slant, new roundness, new name.
This cut carries A–Z and . , ! ? - (caps only).
All thirty-one sorts, re-inked every time a lever moves.
Honest framing, in the tradition of a good spec sheet.
Nothing here is a .ttf, .otf, or .woff, and there is nothing to install or download. Each glyph is a skeleton of polylines and arcs, inflated into a filled shape by the current parameters and painted onto a canvas the moment you change something. Close the tab and the cut is gone — until you cast another.
The renderer walks each skeleton stroke in small steps and stamps a disc at every step. Disc size is the weight; discs shrink on horizontal strokes as contrast rises (the calligraphic logic of a broad nib); and they swell near stroke ends as the terminal lever comes up, giving the cut its ball terminals. Slant shears the frame; roundness reshapes every bowl between circle and squircle.
Thirty-one sorts: A to Z plus five marks, capitals only — the classic scope of a display face meant for posters and shopfronts, and an honest one for skeletons drawn by hand in code. No lowercase, no kerning tables, no diacritics. If you type what the case lacks, the works tells you rather than faking it.
