A joke tool that abuses OpenType's ligature feature to mix fonts. It works pretty fast on client-side by loading Python in WASM.

> Bastardica can make simple fonts feel a little, hmm, richer?

This is truly the YTP of fonts.

I have never felt quite so cacklingly nefarious as a designer as I did just now carefully adjusting vertical scale and offset so that the x-height and baseline of Papyrus optically match Comic Sans when mixed together.

I don't yet know who I'll be pranking with the downloaded font, but I look forward to their reaction.

For extra fun, you can make font that are the same as original but then you add ligature for some words and you make ligature using the same font but spelling different word. For example "red" ligature will be "green".

There is a lot of fun stuff you can do with fonts. A friend of mine made a self-censoring font: Paranoia Sans https://github.com/flegfleg/Paranoia-Sans

Inspired by the sample text for "Nervous Sans": "Anal", an Arial with bad keming

Some of these effects are actually really easy to do with CSS @font-face & unicode-range. See: view-source:https://hlnet.neocities.org/font-face-tricks

Royal Ransom Note just downloaded! It will be great to never have to cut magazines again!

Huh, didn't know the font could control variations over nth glyhph!

Could one make in theory a regular monospaced font to just render glyphs past 80 chars of a line as bad as possible?

This is great!

FYI for the creator, I'm hitting an error when attempting to change the mix-in font (Webkit/iOS):

  Something went wrong: Out of bounds memory access (evaluating '_PyRun_SimpleString(r)')

temu sans is beautifully on point

Temu Sans is an absolutely beautiful demo choice. I love this. Thank you for making it.

This is beautiful. I think I'll have to use this for a game.

This looks like the cut out magazine ransom letters you see in every movie.

I have to admit, I spent way more time on this than required (giggling madly at my creations)

Love this, I had a lot of fun and more than a few laughs messing around with it.

Thanks, I love-hate it.

Nice logo interaction too!

Bookmarked for future use!

Whoa this is really cool. Wish I had an excuse to use it for something… hmmm.

Seeing the results makes me unreasonably angry… nice job :D

This is absolutely diabolical and should not be put into the hands of humanity.

What have you unleashed? Hey, look guys he got Oppenheimer over here.

Thanks, I hate it.
