If you lend a type designer a typewriter, they turn it into a font. This font is a Pica font, with just a little bit quirkyness. The repertoire is limited to what came on the typewriter, plus the Fediverse Symbol ⁂.<br/><br/>It&#39;s monospaced, and available in two pitches: original 10.9 cpi and true pica 10 cpi. Except not quite, there&#39;s a sneaky half-width space character.<br/><br/>Please enjoy and please boost!<br/><br/><a href="https://drj11.itch.io/font-typewriter-b">https://drj11.itch.io/font-typewriter-b</a><br/><br/>#TypewriterB #Font<br/> <img src="https://typo.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/299/022/023/951/901/original/e2b8ebd280871697.png"> <br/> 2025-10-01T15:05:40+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq378ccnjcjyu8ad2asxfgrc3svwzpdspc78s8qs7kpca3n7t7glczyr0te8c4y33275590j6au89v30hkw3gcyfsyu3lrwf4vnd4u9mlxurjcm9e Announcing Clive, a new font inspired by Clive Sinclair&#39;s ZX81.<br/><br/><a href="https://drj11.itch.io/clive-font">https://drj11.itch.io/clive-font</a><br/><br/>(please boost)<br/><br/>#Font #ZX81 #semigraphics<br/> <img src="https://typo.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/179/929/402/461/049/original/a837268b97bc8bc7.png"> <br/> 2025-09-10T14:12:46+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsysdxyrleg8w7sz2tr8843yfd9vdxmgrqcwe5kxr6m0t5neymuwlszyr0te8c4y33275590j6au89v30hkw3gcyfsyu3lrwf4vnd4u9mlxutnkdkp Re-reading the ZX81 manual, spotted a reference to POP-2, a programming language i had somehow not heard of.

The history and scope of the rewilding is fascinating and quite hopeful. But the lack of self-awareness of the author (who is very much aristocracy) is hilarious and provides a fair bit of unintended amusement. (their neighbour farms are cousins, holiday flats and Polo courts in the estate).
