I thought I’d try creating an LFSR in font substitution tables to turn a string of the same character into a string of random variants of that character to make things appear more organic.
Font-based digit grouping
Struggling to read absurdly large numbers in terminal windows many years ago, I wondered how I might apply some logic in the terminal to subtly bunch together groups of three digits as a form of thousand separator. Eventually it occurred to me to try doing it in the font with ligature rules (initially as a joke, but then I looked into it) and it turned out Numderline was a thing which already did that.
