Jgs Font

Jgs Font is a font family made in tribute to Joan G. Stark (aka jgs, Spunk), a pioneer of ASCII art.

Jgs Font glyphs can be combined from one character to another, from one line to another. Thus from single characters it is possible to draw continuous lines, frames and patterns.

In order to change font size while keeping these effects of continuity at pixel scale, the family is declined in three fonts.

• Jgs5 for sizes multiples of 10 : 10px, 20px, 30px etc.
• Jgs7 for sizes multiples of 14 : 14px, 28px, 42px etc.
• Jgs9 for sizes multiples of 18: 18px, 36px, 54px etc.

Notes

Jgs Font is made with FontForge.

Jgs Font is still an unfinished project. Some characters are still missing and the formal correspondences between the sizes remain to be worked.
