New Free Font: Times New Resistance—a Times New Roman impersonator that autocorrects the autocrats.
For example, the word “ICE” autocorrects to “the Goon Squad” and the word “Trump” autocorrects to “Donald Trump is a felon.”

Times New Resistance — Abby Haddican

Times New Resistance is a font that autocorrects the autocrats. Download, distribute, disrupt! Free, just like America used to be.

Ah, the age-old quest to digitize one's scrawl into ones and zeros 🖋️➡️💻. Because who wouldn't want to spend countless hours #coding a font from their own chicken scratch, just to make every email look like a ransom note from the 19th century? 😂 #Progress

Oh, look! Another riveting tale of someone writing about SDF fonts—because who doesn't love a good ol' font saga? 🤓🚀 Spoiler alert: the author made some notes, didn't understand half of it, and then promptly abandoned ship. That's some top-tier #commitment right there. ⌨️💤

Well, _boofhead_ is now going in the word bank (for the /f/h pair which is a ligature in some fonts).

The other day I went to the Library to read this book:

Modern Optical Experiments in Typography: Univers Ultra Light Oblique (1968)
Tim Lee & Mark Soo

I am now fully prepared to design my own font.

🔠✨ Behold the groundbreaking innovation: yet another monospaced font, this time with a dash of Python magic no one asked for! 😴 Who knew combining endless dropdown menus with lackluster fonts could be so... predictable? 🤷‍♂️
