It's very nice and interesting, but the font editor is... brutal. There is no way to undo, redo, or move the anchor points. At least you can delete the last line segment by clicking on the last point.

It would also help to indicate which dot is starting point and which is the ending point.

This is amazing!

Reminds when I was doing my own bitmap fonts on ZX Spectrum and Amiga. They were probably very ugly by today's standards but they were mine :) I guess I'll create one for my terminal, it probably won't be used there for too long but it would remind me of times when I was more in control of my machine.

Reminded me a teenie tiny bit of the original font used by Habbo Hotel Volter (Goldfish) which has a rough pixel look to it (at least that's how my nostalgia makes me see it) they got rid of the Volter font when Habbo upgraded from Adobe Shockwave to Adobe Flash, they went to Ubuntu font if I remember correctly. I still miss the old font. My favorite thing about Habbo's font from back in 2001 is the "emojis" that it…

Thank you for sending me into a Habbo Hotel rabbit hole of nostalgia! They have a classic mode apparently, which is even on Steam now.

this read to me like brutalità (which would be "brutality" in italian but i don't know if it is actually a word in use) first

close enough, but it's in spanish. Form the website: "The name means "little brutal" in Spanish." so the emphasis is on the 'i'

Yeah, that is recent, they have had Origins out for over a year. Friends of mine were indirectly involved in what lead to Origins being a thing. Someone discovered you can just run Shockwave as a standalone executable. The developer leading the efforts for Origins was also iconic in the Habbo reverse engineering scene, where players would recreate the back-end server. He was known as Myrax back then. ;)
