Sixtyfour Convergence is the COLRv1 companion of | ||
<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sixtyfour">Sixtyfour</a> a font | ||
inspired by the article Raster CRT Typography by Norbert Landsteiner, and is a | ||
rework of some old pixel versions of the Commodore 64. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
Due to this project's specificity and the fonts' historical origin, they only | ||
support a limited set of glyphs. | ||

<h3>Homecomputer Fonts</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
These fonts are inspired by the interface fonts of two classic 1980s | ||
computers, the Commodore C64 (<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sixtyfour">Sixtyfour</a>) | ||
and Amiga (<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Workbench">Workbench</a>). | ||
When Jens Kutilek adapted them to the variable font technology, | ||
he did not just convert the pixel fonts, but tried to emulate the artifacts of | ||
rendering letters on a CRT screen. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The above fonts include two custom axes: <em>Scanlines</em>, which allows | ||
control of the height of the lines and, as a result of this, the amount of | ||
vertical space between the lines. And <em>Bleed</em> to change the amount of | ||
horizontal bleed of the pixels due to the phosphor latency found in CRT | ||
displays. | ||

<h4>Sixtyfour Convergence</h4> | ||
<p> | ||
Sixtyfour Convergence is Simon Cozens's COLRv1 take on Sixtyfour, which introduces | ||
two additional new custom axes: | ||
<em>Horizontal Element Alignment</em> and | ||
<em>Vertical Element Alignment</em>. These axes allow the control of the position | ||
of three painted layers, reproducing the control of the offset positions of the | ||
red, green, and blue colors common on CRT monitors. | ||
