I remember from back when I was learning Japanese, that the stroke order in writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji was important. I didn't get very far in my Japanese studies, but even then some of the kanji were like 17 strokes each, and each with a specific order of marking the strokes. Thinking of what would be appropriate for a number competition, I recalled the number and order of strokes per glyph idea. Hence, this font. 

The idea brought with it an inherent textfont sensibility. Deciding on the slope of the diagonal strokes was tricky as they rendered those letter either too wide or too narrow. The correct choice was a slope with a flat top or bottom. That allowed the width of the letter whatever I wanted but the flat top took away from the natural marking of the stroke, as in: no one actually writes an A with a horizontal top stroke. Settled on the current slope and width. Still, the letters came together fairly quickly; the kerning not so much. Whether they were adjusted or not, around 10,000 kerning pairs were checked. More than 2500 kerning pairs are included here...and many more still remain. How good or consistent the kerning is is for other's to judge.

Some of the glyphs are quirky, I know. There are already hundreds of thousands of exceptional standard text fonts. No point redoing those. 

Due to the need to show the strokes individually, the font came out as stencil. That was an unintentional byproduct of the idea.

Some strokes are split in two to show distinction between the crossing strokes, but technically they would be continuous. 

The strokes are based on my own handwriting style; others may do it differently. For example, when being careful, I write the Z in three strokes, whereas I suspect others probably write it in one. 

This is not a color font even though it is auto-charcterized as one because at one point I experimented with making the stroke-order numbers gray. I thought about copy-pasting the glyphs in a new FS, but the follow-up thought of having to redo the kerning quickly put a stop to that madness.

For best view of the font, download & install and check out some long block of text in Word with kerning turned on. (This articles explains how to activate kerning in Word.)

This should have been a minimum font, but minimum can't do color.

The idea was to simulate transparency. After trying out multiple color hatch patterns, it was apparent that it is not going to work. The earlier attempts are left in the font for you to judge yourself their efficacy.

The file is pretty heavy because of having so many anchor points (times 8 layers). Scrolling will be slow. Because the next letter overlapping the previous hides part of the black outline, just outline glyphs are there to stack two layers (colored below, outline above) to get the correct effect.

Is there some trick to make the downloaded font to work in color? The version I downloaded comes as *-svg.ttf. Aren't the color svg fonts in .otf format? Thus, no sample.

Reference to a barbell. Use - to make a bar between disks. Uppercase is the left part and lowercase is the right part of the barbell. Ziltemir means barbell in my language. Used white colored layer to cover up some black spaces. Experiemntal work with some intersting potential

A heavy font but with strange coloring. Kalyn means thick, bold in my language

It's called Choices because this basic idea lead to numerous minor iterations that completely changed the character of the...er...characters. All the unused possibilites are now sitting dormant in another font. Perhaps they will become a full font (or three)...someday.

WIP for indefinte time :) But at least I found a suitable name for this experiment, Sushi is sushi but Sushilka means dryer in Russian.

I cheated by using layers to create these twists.

Based on a concept of color density, the inner color is darker than the outer. WIP that needs further revisiting e.g. kerning, character refining.

Intertwined (impossible) letter O as a starting point for a yet another experiment. Emes is a word used to express negation in my language.

Welcome 2022! This experimental font is based on the concept of a hole in the ground.

Experimental modular font from 2018.

Enjoy.

Pixelart font inspired by a seven-segment display. Use on a dark background.

This is the first font to have the SMPTE Color Bars pattern! I made my first color font!

Lowercase "o" started it all.

An experiment based on: "What if an 8 color wheel was a letter O?" A work in progress just to bring up the potential of the new update. These colors are just rainbow colors and were not inspired from LGBT flag.

One of my older ideas. A font where you can basically change the colors to get a different nation (this one is Belgium) that uses vertical triband flag. Not sure if I should publish every country one-by-one though. What do you think?

Decorative experimental letters drawn around XX pattern.
