    It's kind of ridiculous that they don't tell you how you can get this font. There's no download or buy button

    I absolutely love the font. Reminds me of an old encyclopedia I read as a kid. It had 10 chapters, each one discussing a specific theme, like history or physics, and the only thing I remember about it now is its design. Specifically the colors of the chapters. They were memorable. This font is quite similar in its aesthetics, in that I think that might be the only thing I'd remember if I was reading e.g. a book written with it.

    Also representing prosody was an interesting idea. Never thought how much more information you could transmit through text by including pitch and loudness information. Not so useful for timing, I believe, because you mostly still speak at 1 syllable per time unit, but sometimes you do slow down.

    ~Meta: It may be easiest to read the 38 page PDF explaining what's special about this typeface. You can do this by clicking the eye glyph in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then "Get PDF". You can also read it online by clicking the book glyph in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Obviously.

    That said-- I still don't get it. I think it's a font that shows pen strokes, allegedly to assist early readers and those with dyslexia. But it would really really help if they explained it in more plain language somewhere on the site, and leave the long form documents for enthusiasts.

    At its current density, it reminds me of the infamous Pepsi Logo design document from 2008: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell...
