Type Design
AstroGlyph
AstroGlyph is a custom font that merges the early internet culture of emoticons and ASCII art with typographic design. Inspired by the evolving digital landscape, it reimagines text inputting as both communication and visual art, and bridges the past with the present in honor of digital history.
Designed for easy integration into web applications, the modular CSS creates a flexible 5×5 grid for each character, ensuring consistent spacing and alignment across platforms. The JavaScript handles the dynamic rendering and user interaction, allowing the glyphs to adapt to different input or display contexts. The window below includes a minimalist star field for interactive play and download.
