Phosphor for Tectonic Typefaces
2026-04-23 , workshop

A small workshop about Phosphor.


Phosphor is a humble text-based tool/workflow for creating fonts. It offers an alternative approach to type design compared to traditional GUI and WYSIWYG vector font editors. In Phosphor, glyphs are represented in text, similar to ASCII art, and are accompanied by metadata stored in a YAML frontmatter.
