Brilliant . Years ago I wanted to make a font that looked like it was made with modeling Balloons . I suppose I could now . I love Observing you guys making fantastic Fonts .

With lines, too, hahahaha. (And ugly circles to hide my estimate-instead-of-trigonometry shame)

It’s not actually a font, though. Never got around fiddling with that - much too complicated, kerning and such. This is just shapes cobbled together to bridge the time between breakfast and lunch :slight_smile:

So, It’s a departure from built in shapes but for modeling a template, and things like this I highly reccomend 2 images (colour inverted to show on forum).
As images they rotate and position about the middle instead of a corner that changes positioning with rotation and the triangle can be angled with trig.

In WFS we call it a Bitmapped Font . You import the images to the Layer and it is used exactly as a font . I think it is really nice . One of the others will compress it into a TTF soon enough .

I do hope so. A lot of objects per digit that need up to 2 (often quite long) lines of code are a bit of a drag when it comes to quickly whipping something together.

Thought you might like the basic templating shapes.
And, Barnaby. A font I threw together in one of my favourite online tools for watchmaking, Fontstruct. Just for doing LED/LCD elements in this case: Sign In | FontStruct

sorry, that was a typo, I omitted the word not. It does not allow me to arrange the segments on a true circle…

It is still good and I am watching it with interest for that slow simmer face I have as I am unhappy with how small the text is just now… Also as a learning for Fontstruct because I cannot, for the life of me, get the hang of x2 filters.

MC, you may want to edit your title to things I made, thought I would never need but inspired unicorns to poop goodness.
