3Strands Police
Note de l'auteur
3Strands de Daniel U. Thibault est une police dingbat abstraite gratuite construite à partir de bandes épaisses et arrondies et de petits repères circulaires, avec des silhouettes basses et étirées horizontalement et des bords aux finitions douces. Les formes ressemblent à des nœuds compacts faits de rubans entrelacés.
Les designers travaillant sur des projets de musique expérimentale, de streetwear ou d'arts contemporains peuvent utiliser ces signes dans l'habillage d'albums, les produits dérivés et les affiches d'événements, où leurs silhouettes denses se lisent davantage comme des emblèmes que comme des lettres. Leur rôle le plus fort réside dans le travail d'identité, en particulier lorsqu'une seule forme entrelacée devient un logo, un cachet ou une marque d'étiquette récurrents.

This is a freeware alien font. It looks somewhat like if
someone had dipped three worms in ink and had them race each
other on the paper. It looks best printed (300+ dpi) or at
large screen sizes (24+ pt).
The basic concept is thus: using this font, you generate
lines of "text" that look like a continuous braid of three
strands that sometimes split or merge, turn around, stop and
start, and weave in front of or behind each other. This simple
principle turns out to be very rich in possibilities --I could
not squeeze all the possible glyphs in the printable character
set.
For proper results, each "word" (string of characters
terminated by a blank on either side) should be enclosed in
any of the following pairs of characters:
Opening characters: ( < [ { «
ANSI 40 60 91 123 147 145 171
Closing characters: ) > ] } »
ANSI 41 62 93 125 148 146 187
There is no need for the closing character to match the
opening character.
(145-146 are the curly apostrophes; 147-148 are the
curly quotes; 171-187 are the guillemets)
Other pairs that were considered are:
Opening characters: " ' 9 ! ? /
ANSI 34 39 139 33 63 47
Closing characters: : ¡ ¿ \
ANSI 132 130 155 161 191 92
They weren't used since we did not need more than seven.
(130 is the lowered curly apostrophe; 132 is the lowered curly quote;
139-155 are the angle quotation marks; 161 is the Spanish closing
exclamation mark; 191 is the Spanish closing question mark)
The two pictures (3Strands1.gif and 3Strands2.gif) show the
resulting font.
I made this font with a combination of Corel Draw, Softy 1.07b,
Font Creator Program 3 and some home-made software tools.
CHARACTER MAP NOTES
I tried to fulfill the TrueType minimum recommended character set,
whilst also remaining within the 0..255 ANSI character code range.
The following non-standard mappings were made to fill ANSI gaps:
Unicode ANSI Character
321 129 L stroke
322 141 l stroke
286 143 G breve
287 144 g breve
304 157 I dot
305 164 dotless i
350 173 S cedilla / soft hyphen
713 175 macron
The following glyph pairs have identical appearances; the "copies"
were made so Macintosh Roman mappings (which lie in the 0..255 range)
give access to as many of the otherwise Windows/Unicode-only glyphs:
Unicode Windows Mac Character
8800 - 173 not equal to
350 173 - S cedilla / soft hyphen
8734 - 176 infinity
304 157 - I dot
8804 - 178 less than or equal to
287 144 - g breve
8805 - 179 greater than or equal to
286 143 - G breve
8706 - 182 partial differential
190 190 - vulgar fraction three quarters
8721 - 183 summation
188 188 - vulgar fraction one quarter
8719 - 184 product
189 189 - vulgar fraction one half
960 - 185 pi
179 179 - superscript three
8747 - 186 integral
178 178 - superscript two
8486 - 189 Ohm
185 185 - superscript one
8730 - 195 radical
215 215 - multiplication
8776 - 197 approximately equal to
254 254 - lower case thorn
8710 - 198 increment
222 222 - upper case thorn
9674 - 215 lozenge
253 253 - lower case y acute
8260/8725 - 218 fraction
221 221 - upper case y acute
61441/64257 - 222 fi ligature
240 240 - lower case eth
61442/64258 - 223 fl ligature
208 208 - upper case eth
728 - 249 breve
166 166 - broken bar
729 - 250 dot accent
382 158 - lower case z caron
730 - 251 ring accent
381 142 - upper case z caron
733 - 253 hungarian umlaut
353 154 - lower case s caron
731 - 254 ogonek
352 138 - upper case s caron
711 - 255 caron (hacek)
322 141 - lower case l stroke
