Font Process

I generated a pixelated font with p5. I settled on a 3x3 grid of pixels, where each one is randomly on or off. Each glyph is a unique combination of these pixels. I wrote a script that downloads each of these glyphs as a separate, numbered SVG file.

Then I used a website Glyphter to create a font out of these SVG pixel glyphs. This tool is pretty good, you can bulk upload files and download a TTF font file.
