This is kind of cool, The Alphabet Synthesis Machine. I haven't yet figured out how to get my newly created font into OS X yet, but then again I wouldn't be able to read it either. Relax and contemplate the beauty of your quadratic Bezier outlines.
The glyphs themselves are the virtual trajectories of synthetic hand movements, produced by a 3-dimensional physics simulation of a hand-pen-paper system. This model incorporates such forces as the response of hand muscles to neural firing rates; the inertia and intrisic viscosity of the arm; gravity; and the friction of the stylus against the virtual writing surface.
