Show HN: Continuum, a pedantic recreation of the OMNI font
github.com"Pedantic" in this case means, "If it didn't show up in the magazine, it isn't part of the font." That means there are no lower-case letters and a few other symbols, but there are alternate letterforms as the font changed over the years. Default kerning is set to be as close to "type a word and get a perfectly set header" as possible, keeping in mind that was done by hand back in the day, and this is a digital recreation. Typing "OMNI" in "upper case" should emit a perfectly set masthead. Includes various symbols used throughout an issue, like the "Anti-matter" symbol and end-of-article marker.
Others have made similar typefaces, and I talk about how mine differs on the github README. At the end of the day, this is not "a font inspired by OMNI." It aims to BE the OMNI font.
