#RainbowRocket

all the glyphs have widths that are multiples of a stripe, and as you can see (up toot) there are 6 extra stripes required in the 2nd row to fill the gap. I designed in the font for U+200A HAIR SPACE, U+2009 THIN SPACE, U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE to be 1-,2-,3-stripes wide. They can be used to center the text. With a U+2008 on each side (1st image).

For social media posts, it's a bit tight, and needs a bit of extra padding. So i add another U+200A either side.

the same AUTUMN LEAVES text reversed out on a stripey background. This time, because of careful use of space, both words are centered and the stripes fill the space. No gaps.
But, it's still a bit tight. The A and N of AUTUMN nearly touch the edges.

The original AUTUMN LEAVES image again, nearly identical to the other one in this post, but with just one extra stripe at both the left and right. Just enough to nudge the words themselves away from the edge of the image.

So for my new Rainbow Rocket font, @iorsh asks a question that i was intending to address, which is basically, how come the words in "AUTUMN LEAVES" are centered? Why, in fact, doesn't it look like the picture on the right?

The answer is thinner Unicode spaces. It's why i published a blog on spaces: https://home.octetfont.com/blog/unicode-space.html

#RainbowRocket #Spacing

AUTUMN LEAVES reversed out on a stripey background. The stripes go all the way across, and both words are centered, one above the other. How is this possible?

it's kinda the same AUTUMN LEAVES reversed out on a stripey background, but now each word is left-aligned in its own line, and consequently there is an ugly blank white gap (a rectangle) at the right-hand end of LEAVES.

My Rainbow Rocket colour font released today (see up) includes a "Swiftie compatible" colour palette set. Colours taken from Swift’s albums, with the `taylor` R package as a starting point.

Represented are: TSSNTV - Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), RedTV - Red (Taylor’s Version), TS1989TVSB - 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Sunrise Boulevard vinyl pressing, and TSLover - Lover.

LINGERING QUESTION reversed out on a stripey background of the Speak Now album colours (the purple ones). It's a nearly symmetric up-and-then-down gradient of purples from lavender to almost black. Except that one stripe has been taken out, because it made the whole thing too dark.

AUTUMN LEAVES reversed out on a stripey background using colours from the Red album (Taylor's Version). Coincidentally, the colours do look somewhat autumnal, with a rust and a dark brown set against 2 shades of a lighter beige.

TANGERINE NEON LIGHT reversed out over a background of stripes that are largely beige, but with an accent of strong red and deep blue. Those colours are taken from the jump on the cover of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) Sunrise Boulevard vinyl pressing.

FEVER DREAM reversed out over a stripey background made from the colour of the Lover album. It's a quite a bright palette of custard yellow, sky blue, with a couple of pinks and a brown. The brightness of the yellow interferes with the clarity of the text.

Rainbow Rocket is here! A self-striping colour font family with 21 colour styles, some for free, some paid for. Shapes based on Arugula (an earlier font of mine that also means "rocket"); colours based on a variety of mostly found things.

Here i show examples from my Garden, gifted toys, and a font specimen i found at the Letterform Archive.

Share and Enjoy! (please boost)
