Reminds me of Hellvetica. Unfortunately, the website is gone, but the Internet Archive has saved us this gem:

This is beautiful for grating discomfort. And for over the top insanity, there's always Z̴͔̊ͤͨ̀ͅä͚̦̯̤͟l̸̤̙̰̥̝ͭ͛ģ͍̫̙̬̪̺ͯo̧̞̖ͤͪͦ͒ ̵̗͍̩͔̀ͭͪţ̪̯̘̭̤̲̰͗͒ͩͬe̢̤̙͇̘ͩ̓ͤx̷̩̤͕̺̍ͅt̩͔̪̠̞̳̟̱͂ͦ͜

Check out the old tweets from @glitchr_. You can do some wild stuff by exploiting Unicode rendering.

My phone doesn’t render that corr…oh

I like zalgo. It teach me a lot about Unicode. I love how diactric are coded, it is very sane, and easy golfable: https://github.com/maeln/zalgo/blob/master/golfed.c

I've got an Instagram post titled with Zalgo and it is the only one that instaload can't backup because of the resultant filename. Which amuses me greatly.

If you're looking for a download link, this appears to be the least sketchy: https://img1.allbestfonts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Hel...

The download link on the Internet Archive seemed to work as well

Keming matters!

There was a path of Exile patch note that said “fixed keming”. :)

Speaking of PoE font bugs, here's an amusing tale of how a GGG dev finally fixed a 6 years old font rendering bug:

Nice! GGG has some awesome posts on their dev process. In this case I really hope the resource manager remembered to remove the cached pointer when it unloaded the font, or (until another font is loaded at the same address) it's a use-after-free waiting to happen. :S

Wow… this is actually impressive. It takes work to make something that’s tastefully jarring and awful.

Hmm, that seems slightly overdone, this just looks like noise to me.

Would be much more annoying if every so often a letter was eve r so s|ightly wrong.

It looks like a cheesy movie ransom demand letter, with letter cut out of pages of magazines.

If you want to know the science behind this then here is a good video describing the process https://youtu.be/-Y-yKmzP-4U

I was expecting the opposite, mostly sans-serif with the occasional serif, but the keming didn't disappoint.

Not dissimilar to my dyslexia.

Keming is not important.
