You should look at some Arabic calligraphy- there is a lot of artistic Arabic calligraphy where passages from the Quran, poetry, and other text are written beautifully as art.
Love this. The 18th century type specimens are gorgeous and it's amazing you pulled them from old digitized books. Do you have plans to add any interactive features like zoom on the images?
At school studying typing there was a class of 66 all manual typewriters except for the two electrics. If you were good and had some spare time, you were given printed instructions to type particular characters and returns. Sometimes shift into red ink. Do it properly and you got an image. So maybe pre ASCII art?
This is awesome! A few months ago I got a tattoo of one of the flowers from <a href="https://garden-of-flowers.heikkilotvonen.com/?page=LKBGE51F3BNW2" rel="nofollow">https://garden-of-flowers.heikkilotvonen.com/?page=LKBGE51F3...</a><p>I’ve been variously told it looks like the sun, a hedgehog, and a lion & I’m kind fond of all those descriptions
Absolutely incredible, thank you for making this!
Would love to suggest having a way to get the whole archive and metadata to browse locally or mirror, perhaps via a torrent?
Unique idea looks good
Very cool
damn amazing
