Almost 2 years after starting it I show this: a homemade tool for knitting typography.
I first designed pixel fonts in Libre Office Calc to get letters made for knitting, as a knitting stitch is similar to a pixel in an image.
Then I developed a web tool using HTML canvas, so I could use the pixel fonts exported as images and write text with it.
Last step: the canvas with text is exported as an image, and I make a knit work out of this image with AYAB.
Still experimental but starts working fine

This is my new laptop sleeve with a stroke font lettering designed on https://www.turtlestitch.org/. Then I could export the code into a file for a digital embroidery machine. And I am happy with it 🧵

Just a quick announcement that my fonts Ductus are now available on Bye Bye Binary's typothèque → https://typotheque.genderfluid.space/

Regular and Monospace versions are released with 3 weights for each.

It's under free license so feel free to use or modify it

Finally showing something I've been working on for a moment : I added inclusive glyphs to a font family that I designed a few years ago. These glyphs depend on an Opentype feature that activate it when you use the period centered glyph to be gender inclusive.

This font family was designed with Metapost and is totally free of use : https://gitlab.com/ameliedumont/fonts/-/tree/master/Ductus

Another little generator project. This is a tool made for the art event Lesbiennale (https://lesbiennale.art), aimed at the organisation team so that they can create pictures for their social network accounts by playing with the automated layout of the tool. Then PNG files are generated and can be downloaded.

@raphaelbastide@mastodon.social nope some css properties I use don't work on Firefox, I have to improve the tool for the next version

I made something I wanted to try for a long time for the Feminist Hack Meetings in Rotterdam: an HTML poster generator. The organizers have the basic pattern of the poster on a webpage and they can modify and generate themselves the posters for the other events #webtoprint
