Despite feeling conflicted in a few ways about it, I (José) have been using LLMs to help with coding since May or June of last year. I recently went into a bit of a coding binge with LLM support, and one of the results is this, a Glyphs plugin called Interpol (https://github.com/Dogray-Type-Foundry/Interpol).

It's basically a plugin to preview interpolations, with a a couple of different way to navigate through the design space. The interpolations can be shown, again, in a few different ways, some which I haven't seen used in any other similar plugins. It can also highlight points that are kinking, and by how much, and tries to provide a way to help resolve those kinks.

We did use a good amount of additional Javascript to add some of the features we wanted. Most of them are in support of a better user experience, like filtering the list of families in the Fontdue testers.

But some of them were more about having fun, like the little outline editor in the about page. It’s meant to be a bit of a joke, like “Here, try editing this outline, see how easy or difficult you find it to draw a letter”.

Hi there from @Sahar and @jmsole. We’re partners at Dogray, a London-based type foundry—thrilled to be launching with four new Arabic & Latin font families.
