nerdfiles·Dec 5, 2012Recommendation phrase

I recommend using https://github.com/antijingoist/AlphaSymbolic as a means of distilling the cultural/economic/historical/etc unnecessary typographic biases/information latent in current font libraries. At least for Latin-based systems; these biases may distract the reader from developing extensible representation models of the text itself; thus, they distract the reader from more immediately perceiving the "stress" or density of text, since the characters are each so "unique" in terms of glyphs, etc.
