@cheeaun this makes me think, I wonder if you could make a font that turns @usernames@server.tld into a pill, I guess it just depends on writing some super regex rules in your font or something
@liaizon There’s a really solid write-up of how to do something like this using free tools. I love the font they made: Sans Bullshit Sans. https://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/

Hey! 👋 Looking for some feedback on these glpyhs (Cyrillic, Etc).
This is going to be for an updated and revamped version of my font Endless Love.

Thanks!

Sorry to be a bore could do with some #font identity help.
Trying to find something where the S is like this. I am picturing some 80's car manufacturer.
I did try a find font by upload service, but I think I am looking for something sort of classic. (I wouldn't mind if it's a variant of a heavy arial or helvetica but those S's are much more rounded of course).

Japan’s internet can look a bit weird to outsiders — dense pages, information overload, text burned into images.
