Datatype is a new OpenType font that allows you to create charts based on text expressions.

Unlike Chartwell, it is a variable font. It (currently) offers three chart types and handles pie charts slightly differently than Chartwell. I think it’s an interesting approach.

Datatype is open source under the SIL Open Font License. Designed by Frank Tisellano.

Datatype — variable font that turns text into charts

An OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images — just type.
