How to customize a letter

In the public folder you find a .js file for every character. You can write css and html directly into this file in the template section.

const htmlTemplate = () => html`
<style>
  .letter {
    /* your styles */
  }
</style>
<!-- your html -->
<span class="letter">
  A
</span>
`;

Please only work on one character per pull request and don't change any of the other files. You are allowed to add other files for example .svg files in the public folder, if you need them for your character design. Pull requests that don't adhere to the guidelines will not be merged.

Tips and Tricks

Please note that we want to create a responsive "font".

  • Don't use fixed width and height in your css, use percentages
  • If you use svgs, render them with <img src="/your-svg.svg" to make it responsive
  • You can render images with strange aspect ratios as a background on a <div>&nbsp;</div>
  • Don't use iframes
  • Don't specify the font-size for the characters
  • No need to overthink, just go for it :)

Two House Rules (thou-shalt-nots)

  • Don't overwrite other designs
  • Don't add hurtful, discriminatory, or offensive content

In short: be nice!
