Ino nursed and raised the infant Dionysus, who was her nephew and a divine son of Zeus. Hera, out of jealousy, drove the Kadmeian queen insane and the latter lept into the sea while holding onto her own son Melicertes. Out of pity, the Olympians turned the mother and son into sea gods. Ino was thus a mortal queen who became a goddess. And together with her aforementioned sisters, she is the culmination of Dionysian insanity, mystery, and tragedy. She is also associated with the overcoming of mortality and the power of the sea. 18 | 19 | But most importantly, for the purposes of this project, she had beautiful ankles. Also, her sister Agave shares a name with *type agaric*'s [[https://github.com/blobject/agave][first typogenic project]]. 20 | 21 | *** discussion 22 | 23 | Feedback, questions, suggestions, etc. are welcome and encouraged. 24 | 25 | Please contact *type agaric* via email at =agaric@pm.me=. 26 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /CHANGES: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | legend: 2 | "cmp" = implemented fully (per designer's whim; not final) 3 | "prt" = implemented partially 4 | "add" = modified with additions 5 | "fix" = modified to eliminate error 6 | "imp" = modified as improvement 7 | " * " = non-design, holistic, or miscellaneous update 8 | 9 | 000: 10 | - [*] 16 aug 2021: 11 | - Decide to do an original design. Serifed, like Courier, with smaller x-height, thicker strokes, more deliberate serifs, and prettier shapes. 12 | - [*] 17 oct 2020: 13 | - See DPDHL's Delivery font https://www.dpdhl-brands.com/dhl/en/guides/design-basics/typography/typography.html. Consider adapting it to monospace. 14 | - [*] 31 aug 2019: 15 | - Stumble upon https://github.com/hatsumatsu/Lab-Mono which looks pretty much exactly like what I wanted to make (ie. Apercu Mono). 16 | - Decide to fallback to secondary design idea. (Which is what?) 17 | - [*] 15 nov 2018: 18 | - Decide to use metapost for consistent, assured, and (hopefully) faster glyph generation. 19 | - Start studying metafont and metapost. Feeding metapost's result into fontforge could be scripted, so only the source and feed code need to be published. 20 | - [*] 25 sep 2018: 21 | - Find out the font I had encountered is Apercu Mono. 22 | - Decide to go ahead with design of Ino, a lookalike but with some glyphs tweaked and accompanied by different styles and weights. 23 | - Decide to closely study Apercu, Circular, Akkurat Mono, and Replica Mono. 24 | - [*] 18 sep 2018: 25 | - Name it "Ino", Agave and Autonoe's sister. Will be a learning project, as a continuation of Agave. 26 | - Start closely studying Futura and similar geometric sans-serifs. 27 | - [*] summer 2018: 28 | - See Norwegian Air's "n" in-flight magazine and fall in love with its go-to monospace. Cannot figure out the name of the face. 29 | - Decide to make a face that resembles above. 30 | - Love the "l", "o", "s", "t", "n", x-height. But want to improve on "j", width, bearing. Really want to implement italic and bold. 31 | - Want to abide by geometric simplicity and coding friendliness. 32 | 33 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /src/template.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 19 | 21 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | 77 | 84 | 85 | 87 | 88 | 90 | image/svg+xml 91 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 102 | 103 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /src/0020-007f_ascii/o.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 19 | 21 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | 77 | 84 | 85 | 87 | 88 | 90 | image/svg+xml 91 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 102 | 108 | 109 | 110 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /src/0020-007f_ascii/b.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 19 | 21 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | 77 | 84 | 85 | 87 | 88 | 90 | image/svg+xml 91 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 102 | 108 | 109 | 110 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
