## Compacity Block | ||
This font is heavily inspired by (dotsies)[https://dotsies.org/] and i wanted to mess around with the idea and create something useable for me, it's still pretty experimental but you can't deny that it looks really cool | ||

### How It Works | ||
So there are 6 black squares in a thin line and they are used as binary 1's and 0's\ | ||
The line in the middle is used as an anchor so you know where the middle is and so you have to figure out only the 3 squares on both sides of the line\ | ||
This also allows compacting the writing vertically as the line is always in the middle, while unintentionally it also serves to connect the sentences as `.` and `,` are big spaces without the line | ||

### Goal | ||
I want to learn to read it at least close to speed regular old latin and see if it is really possible, of course my layout won't work for everyone so i will make it easy to change the layout for yourself if you want to | ||

## Building The Font | ||
TODO | ||
|
||
Get fontforge python extension _(use the python distribution provided with it on | ||
windows)_ and run `build.py`\ | ||
Other files are used for modifying the font or creating a custom version. |
