n712k is a monospace pixel typeface for programming, prose, & poetry
n712k is a monospace pixel font for programming, prose, and poetry.
It was designed in Figma, then turned into an OpenType font via Rasmus Andersson’s Scripter script.

n712k is based on a 7×12 grid. We’ll use the term “points” (pt) to refer to the “logical pixels” of the font, and “pixels” (px) for the actual rendered pixels.
Points render one for one at a font size of 12px. For maximum crispiness, set the font size (in px) to a multiple of 12.

The glyphs have 2 points of blank space to the right. To adjust the spacing while keeping the spacing consistent when changing the font size, set the letter spacing to a percentage:
Say we want to 4pt of spacing between letters. There is, by default, already 2pt of space between letters. To get to 4pt, we’d express the difference (2pt) as a percentage of the logical font size (always 12pt) and make that the line height.
