Hellvetica.ttf – Kern in Hell

Very similar to smelvetica (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tholman&#x2F;smelvetica" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tholman&#x2F;smelvetica</a>) which did get takedown notices from Monotype.

I never thought I&#x27;d get to see if a font could be fair use due to the parody exemption - but I&#x27;d suspect there would be a good chance that this is the case.

I&#x27;m a bit disappointed that it doesn&#x27;t include an &quot;rn&quot; = &quot;m&quot; kerning mistake... my favorite and one that is already kind of an issue in Helvetica (and also can happen in the word &quot;kern&quot; itself, ie &quot;kern&quot; = &quot;kem&quot;)

If anyone is interested in automating it, I wrote up quick howto in Python a few days ago. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;readevalprint.com&#x2F;Schmelvetica.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;readevalprint.com&#x2F;Schmelvetica.html</a>

This is awesome.<p>I&#x27;m just sad that this doesn&#x27;t kern r and n towards each other, to produce the classic misread &quot;keming&quot;.

Title should read .ttf, right?<p>Or am I being Mandela&#x27;d.

I don&#x27;t see anything odd there. I am using Linux.

I one time saw a sign with intentionally bad kerning in the design department at work that said something like, &quot;This sign makes designers very angry.&quot;<p>I was admiring the joke, when the the VP of design saw me smiling at it, and said, &quot;Thank you! You have no idea how many people look at that sign and just don&#x27;t get it.&quot;

It kinda reminds me of the Bayeux Tapestry, where the letters have to be spaced around people&#x27;s heads.

Reminds me of a book I&#x27;ve once had &quot;End of Print&quot;.

That how my linux terminals, ex. st or alacritty look when I type the wrong string when specifying a font in the configs ;)

Thanks I hate it.

This also need to have somehow broken hinting instructions so it would render blurry with rainbow edges on a screen.

I don’t understand this. Can someone explain the typing joke to me?

I&#x27;ve never had a font make me laugh so hard.

I’d just as soon can my own shit.
