A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Fantastic project! And thanks for the heads up about the 17th century Dutch fonts - I might consider that for the printed version of my thesis that will probably rot away in the university library anyway. Might as well make it interesting looking.
My favourite project of this kind is TT2020, which takes typewriter imitation to the next level by including irregularities within the font itself. Each (common) glyph has several versions, making the outcome look much more genuine and allowing for the occasional badly printed glyph without making the same error repeat itself to infinity.
It's a bit overkill maybe, but it would absolutely lend itself well to Shakespearian scripts. :)
Oh! That is very clever. Thank you.
