Meta-ironic-pomo-Font is inspired by and made with MetaFont, the 1979 programming language made by Donald Knuth. The typeface uses MetaFont's specific way of connecting points and drawing curves. Each letter was coded on the same orthogonal grid. The way MetaFont draws curves results in surprising letterforms and varying x-heights. The ability to change the calligraphic pen makes MetaFont unique, it also changes the letterforms in a significant way. To mimic this, Meta-ironic-pomo-Font has two axis. The weight axis ranges from thin to bold and the contrast axis from no contrast to high contrast.
