PROPAWGANDA FOR ASL CAT

ok so yeah killing as a cat name is funny its silly even whatevs. but whats so special about the asl one is that you can SEE IT and FEEL IT. which is so cool !

look how fun the sign is also!! the little whiskers.......

may the best kitty win :3

this sign is SO cool! if it makes it past the first round i'll probably embed the video next time that was a whoops on my part but its so cute!!!

ok as my certified most reliable successiontual i have to ask. are tom and greg actually gay in the show or are people joking i need to know

Leon, without knowing you just asked me a philosophical essay level-question. In short: they aren't gay as in they're waving around rainbow flags and dating etc. everyone (excluding the one gay guy in the whole show) is probably too repressed to ever genuinely call themselves gay. but they definitely exhibit fag-like behaviour toward each other (implied) i suppose you could say

jupiter what is your favorite font i need to hear it. mine is oswald

oswald is a Fantastic font choice 10/10,,, hmmm ok. my fav font. hmmmm.

OK WAIT I GOT IT. atkinson hyperledgible!!!!

SO this font is absoooooolutely amazing!! i use it basically everywhere i can (docs, my blog, it's basically my go-to font lol). so like the name! it's an accessible font that's meant to be legible by basically everyone. and "atkinson" came from the founder of the braille institute himself, robert atkinson! there's so many subtle changes in atkinson hyperledgible but it still looks amazing:

so characters in fonts are Meant to be similar and uniform, right? that's what makes them look cohesive! take futura (which i absolutely love btw, no hate to it <3):

as much as i love this font, it's just not accessible yk? the b and 8 look similar, the capital I and lowercase L are basically the same with only a *bit* of height difference, and there's virtually no difference between c, o, p, q, b, & d at all! all they did was rotate one line around a circle. to be fair, futura was never meant to be a read as a text font at small sizes, but my point still stands: it's difficult to tell apart!

enter, atkinson hyperledgible. each chracter is different from the other in small ways that make a big difference. the serif on the lowercase I along with the distinctly rounded dot makes it stand out against the lowercase L, which also has a slight tail. the 8 is heavily pear shaped while the B is more even with less curves bumps. at small sizes or read by someone w/ impared vision, it's much easier to read.

and the best part? it looks good!! it's still cohesive and doesn't stand out too much, but it's still a bit fun and quirky yk?

i love this font sm. it blends two of my fav things: typography and accessibility. there's just so much abt it aaaaa <3 my personal fav chracters are the "0", with a backwards slash that makes it stand out from a capital "O", and the lowecase "G", with large counters and a diagonally terminated tail. it should look weird or off bc of how the proportions are so different, but they made it work! it's just so amazing :D

id for that last image under the cut!

[ID: A grapic titled, "Atkinson Hyperlegible". Small text underneath the name reads: "A bold proclamation of a name, sure, but that's why it's here." The body of text reads:

Atkinson Hyperlegible is a typeface created in partnership with Braille Institute. It has been developed specifically to increase legibility for readers with low vision, and to improve comprehension.

04 - Four fonts, including two weights, in both roman and oblique

992 - Nine hundred and ninety-two total glyphs across all fonts

248 - Two hundred and forty-eight glyphs per font

Åä - Adobe Latin 2 character map

Named for the founder of Braille Institute, Atkinson Hyperlegible is a traditional grotesque sans-serif at its core. It departs from tradition to incorporate unambiguous, distinctive elements-and at times unexpected forms-always with the goal to increase character recognition, and ultimately improve readability.

Braille Institute is a nonprofit organization that embraces the unique challenges of sight loss and low vision, and rejects perceived limitations. Atkinson Hyperlegible will be made available to all designers producing materials for people across the entire visual-ability spectrum.

The image is signed with, "Braille Institute" along with its logo. /End ID]

more propawganda for asl: the sign for cat is different across different signed langauges!

for example, asl mimics as whiskers, as does russian, german, danish, and british sign language!

meanwhile, finnish, swedish, spanish, chilean, and others use a petting motion!

italian and japanese use claw and paw motions respectively :]

theres a whole ton of them on spread the sign :3

asl is the one submitted, but you could theoretically make a whole tournament with just signed cats, they're very unique and lovely

i love all the propawganda being submitted!! and the sign for cat has gained a little bit of a lead on killing so it must be working :D
