Metamor Bit
2020
Type Design
Metamor Bit is a bitmap style variable font.
In the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) region, there are still only limited options for using variable fonts for expressions. This font is originally created to offer more options to use a variable font for them. Graphically, it's inspired by Postmodernism and Memphis design
Buy
Editable:
You can simply use the exported fonts. Additionally, this purchase comes with an editable Glyphs app file in which you can swap 9 materials, and create your own fonts. (Glyphs 3 itself is not included in this purchase.) This is called Custom Texture Feature, and you can distribute your exported fonts within the purchased license number.
Challenge
Developing a comprehensive variable bitmap font that accommodates the vast character sets required for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. This ambitious undertaking demands meticulous attention to thousands of glyphs while maintaining consistent design principles across multiple writing systems. Still regularly expanding the character set and refining stylistic variations to enhance the typeface's utility across diverse typography contexts.
Result
Featured in New Aesthetic 3, Metamor Bit stands out as a pioneering variable bitmap font with open editing capabilities through Glyphs. This democratized approach invites users to extend and customize the system beyond my initial creation—expanding typographic possibilities for CJK expression through collaborative evolution.
