insa pi supa lape

"insa pi supa lape" is a sitelen pona font I designed, based on "Bedstead". It's a vector font that is built from a bunch of 5x9 bitmaps for each character. The font includes all 120 official words, several community-added ones (such as tonsi and leko) and loanword brackets (as replacement for cartouches).

All the characters have ligatures: typing regular Latin-based toki pona text displays it using sitelen pona. In addition, characters have their own codepoints according to the UCSUR standard for sitelen pona.

Most characters are based on regular sitelen pona characters, but there are some changes necessary due to the font's design.

  • "jaki", being too difficult to represent in the font's format, is instead designed as a combination of the Latin letters "j" and "k".

  • "luka" is designed as more of a mitten-like shape to avoid it looking too narrow or weird.

  • "moli" is a picture of a skull.

  • "olin" is represented as a heart symbol with an overline above, since the original character doesn't work well in this font.

  • "pakala" has the lines at the left and right side removed to fit better.

  • "seme" is drawn as an outlined question mark in order to make it distinct from a regular question mark.
