Open source · Myanmar typography
THE STORY
The context.
Myanmar typography has a beautiful complexity: stacked consonants, kinzi, vowel marks, and combinations that need to work together. Glyph Studio makes the starting point approachable with guided drawing in the browser, then connects those drawings to a real font-building pipeline.
MY CONTRIBUTION
My role.
Open-source font-creation toolkit, browser drawing experience, and the pipeline connecting portable glyph projects to installable fonts.
INSIDE THE BUILD
The details that make it work.
- Phone-friendly guided tracing, stylus pressure, zoom, editable paths, and anchor positioning.
- Export a draft TTF in the browser, or use the Python/UFO/fontmake pipeline for shaping-capable builds.
- OpenType mym2 shaping, mark placement, and experimental variable-weight font generation.
- A public specimen and font gallery show experimental faces generated with the platform.
