Monospace · 199 characters · version 0.100
A monospace built from strokes on a 12-unit grid. Every glyph is 750 units wide. The weight axis sets the stroke. The FRAG axis takes the strokes from clean to broken.
Playground
The weight axis arrives with the variable font. This build has Regular only.
Clean · safe for body text

The FRAG axis
FRAG runs from 0 to 100. Up to 15 it only cuts small notches into the joints, so body text stays safe. From 16 it cuts across the strokes. Past 50 the pieces move and drop out.
FRAG arrives with the variable font. Then this section shows Weft at FRAG 0, 8, 15, 30, 50, 70 and 100.

Look-alikes
Code, serial numbers and card numbers need these pairs to stay distinct. Each group is set at 48 px.
Proven readable
CI sets a test text in Weft at each FRAG level, renders it and reads it back with OCR. The character error rate (CER) is the share of characters the OCR gets wrong. The release gate: up to FRAG 15, CER must match FRAG 0.
The table needs JavaScript. The report is proofs/weft/readability.json.
Made by machines
Agents write the generator, the tests and the CI. People set the goals and review the proofs.
A Python generator. It reads a table of centre-line strokes on a 12-unit grid, cuts each stroke into pieces with the same points in every master, and writes 12 UFO masters (wght × FRAG) at 1000 units per em. No outline comes from another font.
Every pull request runs the tests, builds the fonts with fontmake, checks them with Fontspector and renders a proof sheet. GitHub Actions are pinned to commit SHAs.
Jac, the director agent of machine-made, plans the work. Agent sessions write the code and open the pull requests. The latest commits:
