Very cool! Hope you like this one ... about a font carved into a tree!!

https://bjoernkarmann.dk/project/occlution_grotesque

in the further reading there is also a list with a number of recreations of related digitzed routed fonts: https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/r...

Perhaps best known for being the basis for Eurostile, a staple of SF movie typography.

It's an asshole issue, but at the same time the AI that did the work isn't going to have it's feelings hurt.

The S is misproportioned. M should have the middle go all the way to the baseline. The middle stems on 3 and 4 are too long and too short. The punctuation is all different sizes. This is just me glancing at the normalized comparison image. It's really obvious.

Why would keys with full words like shift/return/etc be useful in creating a font. Basic comprehension skills are at a loss for this user. The issue comment should have ended with the first sentence. However, could the keys with full words have been used to provide clues on kerning or other spacing to use when building the font?

I haven't read "Press play on tape" in decades!

It really is though. Very clean.

More AI slop.

It's not faithful. The AI took the original image and assumed the ! was supposed to be elevated like that. This project is low-effort AI generated.

Edit to add: This GitHub user has a over a hundred repositories full of random slop. It's clearly being used to generate activity for a resume or something.

You can find a Speccy font here:

Same, the old one somehow looks newer lol

Dunno about the original C64 (which is what this attempts to recreate), but the C64C used ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro Book according to https://github.com/FeralChild64/MechBoard64-keycaps

It looks too nice to have been drawn just for keycaps :(

Kind of ambivalent state of things, a research thread to solve that provenance issue to some degree of certainty is always only one prompt away too.
