My Terminal Trading Chart is live!

2026-06-10
Terminal Trading Chart in action with ROKU stock 2026-06-13

Finally my 2016 open source project Terminal Trading Chart is live!
…I never thought I’d write those words.

Back in 2016, I started a small experiment:
What if I could visualize buying and selling pressure directly inside a terminal, using nothing but Unicode and ANSI colors?

The idea was simple:

  • Green on top = buying volume
  • Red on bottom = selling volume
  • Thicker glyphs = higher volume
    Using only three glyphs: U+2502, U+2503 and U+2588

But life got in the way. The project stayed in a drawer. Unfinished.

Until now.

Thanks to Claude and DeepSeek AI, I was able to finally bring this vision to life. With their help, the code is clean, the logic is solid, and, most importantly, the signals are readable at a single glance.

Today, I’m releasing Terminal Trading Chart as open source.
I never expected to feel emotional about a terminal chart. But seeing those green and red columns light up with real volume data… yes, it moved me.
I’m curious: does it move you too?

⭐ Star it if you believe in minimalistic, signal-focused tools.

Ideal PragmataPro companion: Georgia

2026-05-25

A Cambridge PhD student just broke every typography rule. And it works.
His entire thesis: just 2 fonts. PragmataPro and Georgia.
The pairing shouldn’t work. But somehow it’s perfect.
Would you have thought of this combo?

Looking back at the first release of Nure variable font after years, I immediately felt the need to revisit and refine it.

Its origins are strictly geometric, a choice that has defined its style since the beginning.

In this new version, I introduced changes to improve readability at small sizes, redesigning key letters and adding ligatures to make the text flow more smoothly.

PragmataPro 0.9 released!

2025-03-20

— Variable!

PragmataPro Variable animated

This update has taken much longer than anticipated because I’ve been simultaneously working on something revolutionary: PragmataPro Variable!

— The Poetry of Comfort

PragmataPro texture healing to improve clarity of words
From this version m M and w W are more expanded in width when meets some letters too extended by design like f i j l r t E F I L with the goal to improve clarity.

— Math is more light

PragmataPro 0.9 has more light math symbols

Drawing inspiration from Donald Knuth’s magnificent work on LaTeX fonts, I’ve decided to reduce the weight of all mathematical symbols, creating a more distinct differentiation from the main glyphs.
This revision has also affected coding ligatures and some essential glyphs such as ( ) [ ] { } < > + * / \ % @ | " ' ~ ^ _

— Recognizable Nerd icons in Mono versions

For this version, over 7000 Nerd icons have been modified for the Mono versions to achieve better recognition at small sizes.

PragmataPro Mono 0.9 with readable Nerd icon set

— Enhanced visibility for text in brackets

The ability to make text more prominent through the application of a black background with white text, previously available only for tags, has now been extended to any text containing A-Z, a-z and 0-9 characters enclosed in square brackets [ ].
This feature can be activated by enabling the OpenType feature ss15 Stylistic Set 15 Tags [BUG].

PragmataPro OpenType feature ss15 "Tags between brakets"

— The # TAG and // TAG return

The special design for optional tags proposed earlier is now available by enabling the OpenType feature ss18 Stylistic Set 18 Optional tags.

— Hebrew alphabet redesigned

Since PragmataPro 0.9 the Hebrew glyphs are less decorative and has a more pragmatic-slyle.
PragmataPro Hebrew sample since version 0.9

— LCD numbers

The ss17 Stylistic Set 17 feature replaces numbers and colons : with LCD-style numerals and colons that maintain consistent weight with the essential glyphs.

PragmataPro with LCD numbers enabled with OpenType feature ss17

— Wi-fi signal strength glyphs + NotaBene and ABAP \_ ligature

Thanks to the suggestions from several users from GitHub, I have added new glyphs that may be useful to many others.
I renew my invitation to contribute to this project’s GitHub repository so that we can create something unique together.

PragmataPro Wi-fi signal strengh, NotaBene and ABAP ligature

— Other changes:

— all weights: ligatures are disabled in Regex.

— all modularspaced weights: removed Bopomofo glyphs because too narrow, available in Mono weights only.

— all weights: added {| |} ligatures for OCaml at codepoint U+1002DB U+1002C0.

Now you can customize your Pragmata Pro font

2024-02-16

Do you want to use the Serif Italic instead of the default Italic?

Now is possible to customize PragmataPro, and other fonts, using OpenType features via OpenType Feature Freezer

OpenType Feature Freezer

A very useful tool, available also as command-line, designed by Adam Twardoch and others that freeze OpenType features to fonts, by remapping their Unicode assignments.

The complete command-line syntax:

usage: pyftfeatfreeze [-h] [-f FEATURES] [-s SCRIPT] [-l LANG] [-z] [-S]
                      [-U USESUFFIX] [-R REPLACENAMES] [-i] [-r] [-n] [-v]
                      [-V]
                      inpath [outpath]

With pyftfeatfreeze you can "freeze" some OpenType features into a font. These
features are then "on by default", even in apps that don't support OpenType
features. Internally, the tool remaps the "cmap" table of the font by applying
the specified GSUB features. Only single and alternate substitutions are
supported.

positional arguments:
  inpath                input .otf or .ttf font file
  outpath               output .otf or .ttf font file (optional)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

options to control feature freezing:
  -f FEATURES, --features FEATURES
                        comma-separated list of OpenType feature tags, e.g.
                        'smcp,c2sc,onum'
  -s SCRIPT, --script SCRIPT
                        OpenType script tag, e.g. 'cyrl' (default: 'latn')
  -l LANG, --lang LANG  OpenType language tag, e.g. 'SRB ' (optional)
  -z, --zapnames        zap glyphnames from the font ('post' table version 3,
                        .ttf only)

options to control font renaming:
  -S, --suffix          add a suffix to the font family name (by default, the
                        suffix will be constructed from the OpenType feature
                        tags)
  -U USESUFFIX, --usesuffix USESUFFIX
                        use a custom suffix when --suffix is provided
  -R REPLACENAMES, --replacenames REPLACENAMES
                        search for strings in the font naming tables and
                        replace them, format is
                        'search1/replace1,search2/replace2,...'
  -i, --info            update font version string

reporting options:
  -r, --report          report languages, scripts and features in font
  -n, --names           output names of remapped glyphs during processing
  -v, --verbose         print additional information during processing
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

Some snippets:

PragmataPro Mono Liga Script (Italics → Script)

A lighter MacOS script by Benas Svipas if somebody wants to use it instead of OpenType Feature Freezer GUI:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Install - python and pipx
brew install python pipx &> /dev/null
pipx ensurepath &> /dev/null

# Download - OpenType Feature Freezer (https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer)
pipx install opentype-feature-freezer &> /dev/null

# Build - Italic stylistic alternates
pyftfeatfreeze -f 'ss09' PragmataProI_liga_0830.ttf PragmataProI_liga_0830_script.ttf
pyftfeatfreeze -f 'ss09' PragmataPro_Mono_I_liga_0830.ttf PragmataPro_Mono_I_liga_0830_script.ttf
echo "Italic stylistic alternates have been built"

# Build - Bold Italic stylistic alternates
pyftfeatfreeze -f 'ss10' PragmataProZ_liga_0830.ttf PragmataProZ_liga_0830_script.ttf
pyftfeatfreeze -f 'ss10' PragmataPro_Mono_Z_liga_0830.ttf PragmataPro_Mono_Z_liga_0830_script.ttf
echo "Bold Italic stylistic alternates have been built"

After it’s done you will find new .ttf files which will end with _script.ttf. Install them and you’re good to go. Remember to kill and relaunch your IDE or Terminal so it recognizes new font files.

oook variable font in use: factory.ai

2024-01-25

In the dynamic landscape of web design, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for creating engaging and user-friendly experiences. One cutting-edge technology that has gained prominence in recent years is variable fonts. In this article, we’ll explore the use of the oook variable font in the context of the Factory.ai website, discussing its benefits and how it contributes to an elevated user experience.

oook in use: factory.ai website

Understanding oook variable font:

What are variable fonts?

Variable fonts represent a significant advancement in typography, allowing designers to incorporate multiple styles and variations within a single font file. Unlike traditional static fonts that offer limited styles (e.g., regular, bold, black), variable fonts provide a spectrum of possibilities, such as different weights, widths, and even custom variations.

The oook variable font:

oook is a versatile variable font that comes with a wide range of styles, making it an excellent choice for web designers seeking flexibility and creativity. Its adaptability to various screen sizes and resolutions ensures a consistent and visually appealing presentation across different devices.

Advantages of oook variable font for Factory.ai:

  • Improved Page Loading Speed:
    variable fonts like oook often have smaller file sizes compared to using multiple static font files. This can lead to faster page loading times, crucial for providing a seamless user experience, especially on mobile devices or in areas with slower internet connections.
  • Responsive Typography:
    The Factory.ai website can benefit from oook’s responsiveness, allowing the font to adapt smoothly to different screen sizes. Whether users access the site on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, the variable font ensures optimal legibility and aesthetics.
  • Design Consistency:
    oook’s variable nature enables designers to maintain a consistent visual identity across various sections of the Factory.ai website. This consistency contributes to a unified brand image and enhances the overall professional look and feel of the site.
  • Creative Typography Options:
    Designers can leverage oook’s variable capabilities to experiment with creative typography elements, such as animating font styles or dynamically adjusting font characteristics based on user interactions. This can add a layer of interactivity and engagement to the Factory.ai user interface.
  • Accessibility and Readability:
    variable fonts allow for fine-tuning of typographic details, enhancing readability and accessibility. By adjusting font weight, width, or other attributes dynamically based on user preferences or device characteristics, Factory.ai can ensure a more inclusive experience for all users.

Implementation Considerations:

  • Browser Compatibility:
    While modern web browsers generally support variable fonts, it’s essential to ensure compatibility across different platforms. Conduct thorough testing to guarantee a consistent experience for Factory.ai visitors.
  • Fallback Options:
    To account for potential issues with browser compatibility, always include appropriate fallback options, such as specifying alternative standard fonts or utilizing progressive enhancement techniques.
oook in use: factory.ai website

Conclusion:

Incorporating the oook variable font into the Factory.ai website is a forward-thinking choice that aligns with the ever-evolving landscape of web design. The flexibility, performance benefits, and creative possibilities offered by variable fonts contribute to a more engaging and user-centric online experience. As the Factory.ai website continues to evolve, leveraging innovative technologies like oook variable font positions it at the forefront of modern web design practices.

PragmataPro Fraktur is completed!

2023-06-21
PragmataPro Fraktur 1.2 2023

Under the numerous requests of expansion of the essential set, I finally completed the PragmataPro Fraktur typeface.

I designed numbers, lowercase numbers are default but uppercase ones are available via OpenType feature Lining Figures (lnum).
s lowercase is available also in historical version enabling OpenType feature Historical Forms (hist)
The set includes for the first time, I suppose, the unreleased design for Fraktur alphabets of glyphs like currency symbols (€ $ £ ¢ ¥) the ampersand (&) etc.
I designed all these unseen before glyphs in Fraktur using the priciples used in the Middle Ages: slants of the parts of the outlines (55° and 72°), variable weights of these parts and modular horizontal rhythm.

PragmataPro Fraktur 1.2 2023 OpenType Ligatures

I also designed ligatures to improve the readability and to respect North European tradition.
There are two kind of hyphen, endash, emdash and equal: default ones at 55° and the alternative at 0°, enabling using OpenType Stylistic Set 01 feature (ss01).
