What should the runic keycaps look like?

Thanks for tagging me @lars . In general, even line widths and low complexity are good. Because the lines are being cut with a laser, rather than printed, the simpler the designs, the better quality we’re going to get.

I think it might be useful to get the min diameter of the laser to fine tune font corners for tool paths. [image] jesse: Because the lines are being cut with a laser,

Just popping my head in to say that this thread is great – lots of creativity here – and I’d love to have pretty much any of these designs.

I like the Noto Banum version. (Not that I don’t like other things, too) While I know R1C7 isn’t a swastika, I can’t not see one when I look at it. Could we find something else to put there?

I’d pick @TimNN ’s latest Noto Bamum keycaps over anything else I’ve seen (though I’d still prefer to have my own custom legends if that’s not prohibitively expensive – but I wouldn’t want those until after I’ve had the keyboard long enough to decide on a final layout).

Thanks @TimNN . both jgb and noto are nice. Looks like line weight on the noto might be more aesthetic according to what @jesse says about the manufacturer’s laser abilities/limitations. I can’t wait to get one and have the office folk just stare in confusion and amazement.

So true !! That puzzled look on their face. Priceless.

[image] kajsa.anderson: That makes it very clear, and I definitely prefer the Noto font for banum. Is mende still on the table? I’m still torn between the two as well. The Noto Bamum looks like a proper human language font, properly suited for a keyboard, while the Mende is really out there -…

Maybe we can use A6E6 instead? That would look something like this.
