@villares
Looked at how the "e" and "n" looked like "a" and "u" upside down and so I tried to make an Ambigram of #genuary

How did I do?

In 2021 I was working on some code for a silly glyph editor, I couldn't resurrect the editor (yet) but I could still read some pickled data! I hope I can get back to these studies again. Note: be careful about loading pickled data from untrusted sources, there is a nasty risk of "arbitrary code execution" #genuary #genuary5 #genuary2026

Today's #genuary prompt is to write "Genuary" without using a font. I'm always intrigued by those "Inhabited Initials" found in older books, where the first letter in a paragraph is drawn using fancy illustrations, so I attempted to write the word by pulling public domain images of these initials from Wikimedia Commons. Initially, I wanted to automate scraping of the images from the site, but the search results were too inconsistent (searching for "A" returns images of other letters too), so I ended up manually curating the images. Try your own words on my website:

Genuary 2026 Day 5: "Write 'Genuary'. Avoid using a font."

I kinda cheated on this one. Kinda.

Genuary 2026, day 5: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font. 🤓

Used Flexflex. Technically, it's not a font, it's a JS library!

Genuary 2026: 5 - "Write Genuary. Avoid using a font."

R + ggplot2. First time using grid.locator to interact with ggplot2 and peek for screen recording as gif. Smoothing splines and mapping of diff(y) to linewidth for calligraphy effect. R code in alt text. Enjoy!

I use my"Genuary" ambigram as a Medium for photons to move through.

Genuary 5: Write Genuary, No Fonts.

I'd been meaning to add generic SVG path support and took the opportunity to do so today. The animation is built from path drawables being animated along paths, I'm happy with how simple the final h9 code wound up being.

Prompt: write "Genuary", avoid using a font.

Nothing like what I had planned (a kind of modular geometric font) - I decided instead to handwrite "Genuary" in Boxy and then play with the resulting SVG path in Python and JavaScript

Genuary 4: Low resolution
Genuary 5: Write Genuary, avoid using a font.

It's actually cheating for I did use a font, but I pixelated the characters myself from scratch.

#genuary23 Inspired by brutalism. For Brutalism, I returned to my #genuary5 (isometric) code for drawing cubes, added a concrete texture, and made a building-like arrangement. #genuary #genuary2025

Checkout Codepen Spark!

I have an isometric piece in there:

#Genuary8 prompt: Draw one million of something.

Try out my sketch at: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2504159

I chose to draw one million cubes. I wanted to explore the isometric mode from #Genuary5 a bit more, and used my signature palette with a 3D noise field applied over a cube of 100 x 100 x 100 smaller cubes. You might be wondering why there is so much space around it. Well... 1/2

"Isometric Art - (No vanishing points)"

Part 2. Not sure where my priorities are at the moment because I added the windows.

"Isometric Art (No vanishing points)." #genuary2025 #genuary5

Took forever just to draw the shape. No time to do something more creative with it, unfortunately.

"Isometric Art - (No vanishing points)"

I want to call this one, "The City Sleeps." Part of me wants to add windows but other parts of me have other things to do, so we'll see if that happens later or not.

Isometric Art & Make a landscape using only primitive shapes

I wasn't sure what I was going to do for day five OR six, & certainly wasn't planning on combining them in the beginning, but then the idea just struck me one evening while my fam was playing Minecraft.

was pretty fun overall, & I got to really work my spacial thinking muscles to make the cubes & put everything together properly.
