Super quick, almost caught up! Definitely didn't use a font, hahah.

Looked at how the "e" and "n" looked like "a" and "u" upside down and so I tried to make an Ambigram of #genuary

How did I do?

In 2021 I was working on some code for a silly glyph editor, I couldn't resurrect the editor (yet) but I could still read some pickled data! I hope I can get back to these studies again. Note: be careful about loading pickled data from untrusted sources, there is a nasty risk of "arbitrary code execution" #genuary #genuary5 #genuary2026

Today's #genuary prompt is to write "Genuary" without using a font. I'm always intrigued by those "Inhabited Initials" found in older books, where the first letter in a paragraph is drawn using fancy illustrations, so I attempted to write the word by pulling public domain images of these initials from Wikimedia Commons. Initially, I wanted to automate scraping of the images from the site, but the search results were too inconsistent (searching for "A" returns images of other letters too), so I ended up manually curating the images. Try your own words on my website:

I made these letters using the loop drawing algorithm I created for my Loop Line Logics series of plots. The Processing function code is below.

void hhAdjustaLoop(float x, float y, float loopWidth, float loopHeight, float loopLean, float loopEnd) {
/* draws adjustable loops
* extra curves added to start and end points to smooth out tran

Used Flexflex. Technically, it's not a font, it's a JS library!

Genuary 2026: 5 - "Write Genuary. Avoid using a font."

R + ggplot2. First time using grid.locator to interact with ggplot2 and peek for screen recording as gif. Smoothing splines and mapping of diff(y) to linewidth for calligraphy effect. R code in alt text. Enjoy!
