| Capital H is cursed... unconnected pixels, indistinguishable from 'ii' or "II". The concept's cool, but for this one point the wrong choice was made. |

| Try reading "HiGh sky buys The lies" in the font. Pretty difficult to make out what it says... |

| ▲ | jibcage 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I think most of what makes this font readable is the user using context to sort of guess at what the word could be. If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’t hold up. Still interesting for a “normal” use case though. |

| I'm more concerned about V X Y all being identical. How will I know if it's waxy or wavy? |

| ▲ | throwaway808081 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Like all of language: context. Why would hair be like 80s synthpop, or potatoes be in any way related to a by-product of honey? | | |
| ▲ | xboxnolifes 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Hair can be either waxy or wavy or both. | | |

| ▲ | jonathrg 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Her wa[]y hair was a challenge for the hairdresser | | |
| ▲ | IshKebab 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm not saying the context always disambiguates it. You can have ambiguous sentences even with perfect fonts. | | |

| ▲ | lelanthran 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | > Her long blond waxy hair blew in the wind. Same question as GP - how can you tell if that was meant to be waxy or wavy? | | |
| ▲ | IshKebab 3 days ago | parent [-] | | From the context. Long hair blowing in the wind is a description of beautiful hair. Wavy hair is beautiful; waxy hair is not. This is very obvious to most people. | | |
