The endeavor was motivated by a deep adoration +of old-school console bitmap fonts, of Consolas, of Pragmata Pro, as well as a +novice's curiosity for typographical design. + +When it came to establishing a "simple" design scheme, the natural inclination +was to separate the glyph design concerns into that of "frame" and "trait". By +frame, we refer to the naive geometric extent of a glyph and its parts. And by +trait, we mean, for example, the "way" in which a stroke curves, or the +relationship between one part of a glyph and another. + +Adhering to personal tastes, bone-deep laziness, and the quirky spirit of old +computer terminal fonts, the delineations of frame and trait amounted to two +mathematical patterns: the power of two and the golden ratio. + +WWW: https://b.agaric.net/page/agave |
