Collection of linear-interpolated circle attempts, or simply faux-Bezier circles and other curvature related materials.
This toolset basically is collection of pre-made fake circles and curves in numerous different sizes to make ones workflow easier. It could also simply serve as a educative tool that demonstrates the basic FontStruct technique used for making fake curves and circles.
Initially I intended this to be much more complete, but it is simply too much work, and would take forever to get published at once.
Please don't expect this to be perfect, a lot gets fairly close to the "real-deal".
But keep in mind that they remain raw approximations of their true Bezier counterparts. I will try to improve whatever is needed as time progresses, as well as most likely add more stuff.

I hope you like it so far,
Feel free to copy, re-use, improve or even destroy!
enjoy!
The font is inspired by a 5x7 dot matrix display grid. Comment any suggestions for the font. Email me (email:jacejenius.design@gmail.com) if you want access to the font. If you use the font, please give me credit.
Latest Update: Added all Extended Latin characters. Some of these characters break the 5x7 rule, but still are on the Y axis of 7. (26/06/2022 @ 16:48)
Please note: if you request the font, you will be given a Demo font. The full font will not be given. Requesting the font in comments could result in punishment from Fontstruct, therefore you MUST email me to get the font. Checker characters mean that the character will be added. If you want to use the character and a checker appears, do not tell me to add it, it will come when I can do it. Submitting ideas on how to do it will be alot easier for me as it lets me use what I know the users want. When the font is Google Fonts Compatible it will be made a public license and put on Google Fonts. Until then, you must email be to use it. Demo font includes all characters classed as Basic Latin, along with yen, euro, cent and the currency sign (which acts in demo and full as a square.)
Experimental mosaic... or maybe a new mineral species?
This one started as a doodle. I began placing circles to see what kinds of complex shapes I could make, and this was the result.
It achieves a new visual effect at almost every size up to the original. Also try slowly moving the zoom slider for some interesting animations!

This font is now nearly 1MB in size! I guess it has to do with the intrinsic complexity of circles.
Continuing on the theme of choosing a regular shape and making an alphabet out of it.
Looks best at smaller sizes (<24pt) and with antialiasing/ClearType turned on.
Can this be done better with filters? Probably, but I still have to learn those... :D
