I Made Bagel Font
Hey HN, I recently made 3d style Bagel web font (with some more styles) from scratch, and wanted to share the process in case anyone's interested in experimenting or giving feedback. You can play around by typing https://www.bake-ai.com/fonts [Backstory] I was experimenting with Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to generate icons. To my surprise, generating letters this way was actually better than using traditional 3D tools like Blender for this purpose. That led to the idea: what if I could turn into an actual real working font? I found a few tools, but most were either paid or…

In plain words
I Made Bagel Font is a 3D-style web font created using AI image generation rather than traditional 3D modeling software. The creator used Stable Diffusion and ControlNet to generate individual letters, then converted them into a working font file using Python and FontTools. The font is available for experimentation at bake-ai.com/fonts, and the maker shares the process for others interested in AI-assisted font creation and design feedback.

Handwriter.ttf – Handwriting Synthesis with Harfbuzz WASM2024 · github.com · ▲191During the hype of llama.ttf months ago, I was speculating the potential of WASM shaper for even crazier purpose, one that fitter to a font shaper's duty -- to synthesize font at runtime. This project as proof-of-concept implements a synthesizer that generates and rasterizes handwriting-style font, backed by a super-lightweight RNN model (~14MiB).
Brat Generator2024 · brattgenerator.cc · ▲122I have always been curious about how the fancy text styles on social media work. After researching Unicode characters, I started developing my own tool to convert simple text into fancy styles. Although I have created other similar tools, I believe this one is my best work. Similar tools exist, but they’re usually packed with annoying ads and pop-ups, have clunky interfaces, offer limited styles, and don’t make it clear that these fonts are for casual use, and not for situations where accessibility is a concern. I’ve tried to fix all these issues, and I’d love to hear your feedback!

Handfonted2025 · handfonted.xyz · ▲40Hey HN, For the last few months, I've been working on a personal project called HandFonted, and I'm excited to share the result with you all. The goal was to build a fully automated pipeline that could take a single image of a person's handwritten alphabets and generate a usable .ttf font file. You can try it here: https://handfonted.xyz And the code is open-source here: https://github.com/reshamgaire/HandFonted The Technical Stack and Workflow: The process is broken down into three main stages: 1. Segmentation (OpenCV): The user uploads an image. I use a series…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
