Circular Logic (Parametric Font) by thehans

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Circular Logic is the name of a font I created in OpenSCAD. It is a fully parametric font which means you can change the size, aspect ratio, stroke width, character spacing, etc and it will adjust to those parameters. I have uploaded this "thing" as a customizer, so people can see try various settings, but its not meant to be printed directly. It is meant to be used in other OpenSCAD designs.
This started with an idea to create a logo for my small business. I had a certain aesthetic in mind for the characters in this logo. And I created some "rules" to define this aesthetic:
1) It is a monospaced font, all characters take up the same amount of width.
2) stroke-width is constant for all parts of all characters. It does not vary in thickness.
3) characters can be composed of lines, which are vertical or horizontal, but never diagonal.
4) characters can also be composed of circular arcs. The radius of any arc should be as large as will fit into that character geometry in a consistent manner. Also because of rule 3, arc angles must be multiples of 90degrees
Since all of the curves are circular arc and its generated by script, I decided "Circular Logic" was the perfect name.
The characters I have modeled are [A-Z] [a-z] and [0-9]
Please share any designs of your own that use this font, I would love to see them.
