A beautiful terminal clock with ASCII art fonts
Introducing Glyph Protocol for Terminals - Raphael Amorim
There’s one thing about terminals that has always bothered me: to get your favorite editor, prompt, or TUI to render nicely, you are almost always forced to install a patched font. You know the drill. You open a fresh terminal, pull up your editor, and half of the UI is replaced by little rectangles — the infamous tofu. The fix is to go download a Nerd Font, or Powerline, or some other patched set, and switch your terminal font to it. A font that is often well above 10MB in size1. All of that — just so you can render...

MD Thermochrome by Mass-Driver - Future Fonts
Our written world is made from little dots: little dots of ink from a printer; phosphors or pixels on a screen; blackened thermal paper on a sales receipt. MD Thermochrome is a typeface designed around little dots. It’s not a faithful mimicry of any single printing technique, but an allusion to several — the coarse grid of dot-matrix printers, the visible scanlines of CRT terminal fonts, the varying dot size of over- and under-inked documents from any number of technologies. Built on a consistent (but not quite square) grid, Thermochrome features five discrete italic angles (Upright, Italic, Inclined, Retalic, Reclined), eight weights, and over 100 icons and symbols.

Prime Time Idle
69❤ 3.8⭐ | by sir_pinski This short (<60 minutes) game is based on an art project I had been planning for a while, and then realized that perhaps an idle game was the way to go instead. It's also an experiment in vibe coding - it's about 98% AI-written code, albeit with me spending a few dozen hours writing the prompts and debugging, and I think turned out pretty well. The game itself is a short-form incremental game that combines math and music to generate a song of epic proportions. Or at least of epic length. You'll see. Currently in a beta build, please share feedback, bugs, etc. Thanks!

Esoteric Fonts
Arbitrary code can run inside a font, what was a power given to compute the complex layout of characters, can be repurposed for esoteric and even practical purposes. This collection reflects the esoteric fonts people have created and the ways to make them.
