Designs with characters squeezed tightly together are cute, but I couldn't find a free font that perfectly matched my preferences, so I had no choice but to design it by hand.
When I hand-designed "Mugyupuku Moji" and turned it into merchandise using a 3D printer, it came out cute, and I wanted to do custom orders. However, hand-designing was time-consuming and impractical, so I wanted to automate the process.
The distinctive feature of this app is that it runs entirely on the browser (JavaScript) without using any servers or cumbersome databases.
Rather than simply making character outlines thicker, I perform slightly complex image processing (distance calculations) behind the scenes to ensure that "places where characters collide" and "character holes (like the middle of the character 'あ')" are preserved cleanly. This creates a unique form where "characters are packed tightly with no gaps, yet remain perfectly readable."
Additionally, when taking 3D print orders, instead of using a database, I use an analog but reliable and simple system where "all slider values and color settings are converted to text and sent to me, then restored on my end."
