font specimen
Echoform
A sans-serif typeface drawn entirely by ear. The designer heard each letter spoken aloud and drew what it sounded like — never once looking at our alphabet. One weight, 72 glyphs, public domain.

font specimen
Vermicula
A strange organic display face built from wandering centerlines, bulbous terminals, and scattered dot accents. Every glyph is botanical notation — nothing is straight if it can be persuaded to curl. Named for little worms.

reference guide
Building a Great Font
A practical, measurement-backed guide to type design — from letterform anatomy through TrueType file structure, grounded in real measurements pulled from Liberation Sans, Carlito, and five other production fonts. Includes a 12-step build process and quality checklist.

labs image processing
image tool
Paintbands Lab
Drop in a photograph and it decomposes the image into discrete tonal "bands" — each one a paint-mixing recipe. Tells you exactly which colors to mix and in what proportion to reproduce each band by hand.

image tool
Watershed Lab
Applies the classical watershed segmentation algorithm to any uploaded image. Tune marker sensitivity and minimum distance to control how finely the image fractures into regions. Render as colored segments, boundary overlays, or mean-color fills.

Typewriter Dithering
Converts a photograph into typewriter-character art using Floyd-Steinberg dithering. Stack black, gray, and white passes independently, control noise amplitude and position randomness per pass, and download the result as a PNG.

Type Crater
Every character in a body of text is individually tracked and flees the cursor, leaving a crater of empty space behind it. Tune the crater radius, elastic recovery speed, and drama of the spring-back. Inline images fragment too.
