Something or other inspired me to make a linear binary font.. sew.. this is about the 5.revision/remaking of what i came up with, probably the most viable incarnation as scary as that may be.

basically it's based on a linear ogham style, there's a horizontal trunkline then two twiglines at the top and bottom. Leaves on the trunk represent 1s, leaves on the twigs represent 0s. So.


Is 01010011, or S.

Well yes, it looks cool, and the concept is neat... but how would one *ever* go about reading that?

Well at slightly larger point sizes the bits are pretty easy to pick out, then it's just a matter of memorising the binary ascii codes

It wouldn't be too hard i'd think to make it machine-readable, ie 2x2 barcodes and such.

So... you're basically making a real-world kind of Matrix code?

-Oh boy. Here we go. It starts with Asimo, before you know it...

It's our All-American product. We got the idea from the Germans. The French hate it. It goes for half in Canada. The English have a version, but it's not so hot. There's cheap knockoffs in India. The Japanese are devolping a sleeker, sexier model. Made in China.

Well i was partly inspired by this delicious mind-f*** of an alphanumeric system: http://omniglot.com/writing/12480.htm
And partly by something i don't remember now.

And visual representations of binary are tastey in any form really.

Looks cool.

I made up my own dinary code once... each letter was 24 bits long. Needless to say, it took a terribly long time to write. It was rather easy to read if you knew how, though.

That's just pathetic.

[Insert the wittiest, most cynical thing you will ever lay eyes on here.]

I'll break you =-o

I was working on another system prior to that one that had each 8bit thing broken down into four quadrants that read in order:
14 14
23 23 &c
which gave the ability to have the bits more distinct but wound up being a lot less intuitive and linear.
