One tiny modification to try and fit some glyph into the established structure led other glyphs to conform to the modification. As a general practice, every time I make a modification to a completed glyph, I make a copy of it first. When enough glyphs were conformed to a/the modification, I moved them off to a clone.*</p>

<p>While working on the clone, some new tiny modification would generate glyphs that were similar but enough different that it warranted it's own clone. And so on...so much that the naming scheme had to be changed a few times as well.</p>

<p>And the series is not even all that good. But once an idea hits...and the FontStruction is easy to do... it might as well be "completed".&nbsp; There are 9 versions of tmADHDs at varying states of completion at the time of first sharing.</p>

<p></p>

<p>*<em>​​This is an over-simplification of the process. What actually happened was that the first iteration ended up with what looked like three similar-yet-distinct styles so I made two clones of the first and deleted glyphs of the first style from the second and moved glyphs to uppercase of the ones that seemed to belong to the second style and added new glyphs to flesh out the style. Did the same for the third. Lots of back and forth between the three iterations to ensure none were left behind or inadvertently deleted. Still there were enough individual glyphs left that I didn't know what to do with. Then I created a fourth clone and moved the left-overs to it. Which later turned to fifth and sixth clone. At some point the thought occurred that tmADHD2 doesn't need to be as wide so it became tmADHD2a and the narrower iteration became tmADHD2b. And so on.</em></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[“tm Strokes” by thalamic]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=6a932222&id=2465418&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p><em>In the font preview window above, click Pixel and then Shift+Pixel 4 times to see the full effect of the font.</em></p>

<p>I remember from back when I was learning Japanese, that the stroke order in writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji was important. I didn't get very far in my Japanese studies, but even then some of the kanji were like 17 strokes each, and each with a specific order of marking the strokes. Thinking of what would be appropriate for a <em>number&nbsp;</em>competition, I recalled the number and order of strokes per glyph idea. Hence, this font.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The idea brought with it an inherent <em>text</em> <em>font</em> sensibility. Deciding on the slope of the diagonal strokes was tricky as they rendered those letter either too wide or too narrow. The correct choice was a slope with a flat top or bottom. That allowed the width of the letter whatever I wanted but the flat top took away from the natural marking of the stroke, as in: no one actually writes an A with a horizontal top stroke. Settled on the current slope and width. Still, the letters came together fairly quickly; the kerning not so much. Whether they were adjusted or not, around 10,000&nbsp;kerning pairs were checked. More than 2500 kerning pairs are included here...and many more still remain. How good or consistent the kerning is is for other's to judge.</p>

<p>Some of the glyphs are quirky, I know. There are already hundreds of thousands of exceptional standard text fonts. No point redoing those.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Due to the need to show the strokes individually, the font came out as stencil. That was an unintentional byproduct of the idea.</p>

<p>Some strokes are split in two to show distinction between the crossing strokes, but technically they would be continuous.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The strokes are based on my own handwriting style; others may do it differently. For example, when being careful, I write the Z in three strokes, whereas I suspect others probably write it in one.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not a color font even though it is auto-charcterized as one because at one point I experimented with making the stroke-order numbers gray. I thought about copy-pasting the glyphs in a new FS, but the follow-up thought of having to redo the kerning quickly put a stop to that madness.</p>

<p>For best view of the font, download &amp; install and check out some long block of text in Word with kerning turned on. (<em><a href="https://www.groovypost.com/howto/enable-and-adjust-kerning-for-fonts-in-microsoft-word/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This</a>&nbsp;articles explains how to activate kerning in Word.</em>)</p>]]></description>

The first version of the uppercase letters was done in the time it took to finish drinking it. Worked on it off and on during the day. Was done by evening. The sample probably took longer than the making of the font.</p>

<p>Thanks, fontstruct.</p>]]></description>

It has the same grid structure but the letters look nothing like the original.</p>

<p>Also, this FS'tion was started on the phone (because I was too lazy to get off the bed and go to the computer). When I saw potential in the created letters, it was&nbsp;saved and opened on the iPad. The rest of the fs was done there. The only thing that couldn't be done on the iPad was adjusting of&nbsp;a composite brick. (It was&nbsp;fixed&nbsp;on the laptop days later.) So, 98% iPad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>@RobMeek: The iPad version worked well. However, Menu-&gt;Edit-&gt;Copy, Menu-&gt;Edit-&gt;Paste, etc. got tedious. Can we have the menu commands in icon form docked or floating somewhere on (in?) the tablet version? The icons can be half the size of the Tools icons to save space. Also, can the tools and zoom be docked as well on the tablet version?&nbsp;It would be helpful. Thanks.&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

I was quite happy with how the lowercase found a way to be connected. Then I thought let me not mess with anything else. But a Z is so much like a 2, so I created the 2 out of the Z. Then when 2 was done, I was aprehensive of tackling the 1 because the vertical stem would be off by one brick, and how would that be resolved. Reluctantly I tried it...and it worked. 3 can be created from the B, but the B hasn't been created yet. OK, I guess I have to do the uppercase. A was easy. B was surpringly easy. Which gave me motivation to go on. And surprisingly soon, the whole thing came together. The hardest letters to shape were X and S. Not all letters are very successful, but they are distinctive enough to be recognized as themselves. Not sure about the =, but it will do, I suppose. In any case, no kerning required.</p>]]></description>
