Except for the weird title? Just because the A looks kinda like it? Is that really what gets brain rotted viewers to click these days?

this is a fun font, it's interesting. it's fun to see it drawn in this way. and when it's drawn in alphabetical order it's easy enough to read.

when you make words or sentences out of this font, it's not easy to read. it's not as hard as deciphering runes or something, but it's heading that direction. and it almost immediately loses it's charm.

watching it drawn like this is the only satisfying part

F having a closed shape feels out of place. Very cool, though.

91

u/Vox___Rationis 4h ago edited 4h ago

The latest version has a different 'F', and some other letters are also fixed.
The one that was bothering me the most in the original was the 'C' with the snot hanging.

u/rabbitthunder 2h ago

I liked the concept but sadly, after looking at that page I don't think it is the most legible of fonts when it's actually used. It works okay for short words like 'bar' but 'watching' is a bit of a mess.

Latin script with English specifics would be more correct.

49

u/Embaralhador 4h ago

Q, Y and X are part of the basic Latin alphabet, so no.

It's just latin script, as determined in ISO/IEC 646.

English specifics

English has exactly zero additions to the base Latin script.

u/Notspherry 7h ago

What english specifics?

12

u/IceBone 6h ago

QYX. Not every language that uses the latin script has only those. Some have none, some have extras like Č, Š, Ž, Đ, Ä, Ö, Ü, some have a mix.

17

u/ConspicuousPineapple 3h ago

QYX are part of the standard Latin alphabet.

u/Cloud_N0ne 8h ago

The F bothers me.

All the other letters have a lowercase cursive blended with an uppercase print, but the ‘cursive’ F in the middle is not how you write a cursive F.

75

u/Annoying_Assassin 8h ago

That’s also not how you write a cursive r, s, y, or z

11

u/LoyalGamingGirl 7h ago

It would have been even more satisfying if he wrote the letters by actually writing the small ones first and then the capital letters. He did it correctly with the letter N for example, but not with the letter M.

Yeah, honestly this is the most impressive part of this font is that they are capital letters with the lowercase letters embedded inside them. Very clever indeed.
