Things made out of curiosity over the years, with good people, happy accidents, and the occasional frustration.

A classmate had this particular handwriting, individual letters, slightly angular, nothing connecting or running together. At some point the idea came up to turn it into a font. The process was entirely manual, photos of handwritten pages, cropped and zoomed, converted from raster to vector in Inkscape, curves corrected in FontForge. All open source tools.
It found its way into Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu packaging. A Malayalam comic used it as their default English font for a while. Within four months of release it had 10,000 direct downloads, which was a surprise for something that started as a small personal experiment.
