Segment

A custom display font, packaged for web distribution.

62 glyphs — uppercase A–Z (U+0041–U+005A), lowercase a–z (U+0061–U+007A), and digits 0–9 (U+0030–U+0039). Ships as woff2, woff, ttf, and svg with a ready-to-use CSS file.

Quick start

npm install @42mk/segment

@import"@42mk/segment/css";
.label {
font-family:"Segment", sans-serif;
}

The imported CSS defines the @font-face and a .segment helper class.

Try it / preview

Clone the repo and run the demo page:

git clone https://github.com/42dotmk/Segment.git segment
cd segment
npm install
npm run build
npm run demo

Then open http://localhost:8080.

The demo (demo/index.html) shows a pangram, a live input tester, and the full A–Z / a–z / 0–9 glyph grid with codepoint labels. It loads fonts directly from dist/, so you must npm run build at least once before starting it.

Any static server works — npm run demo just wraps npx http-server demo.

Install options

As an npm package

npm install @42mk/segment

Available subpath exports:

Import	File
@42mk/segment / .../css	dist/segment.css
@42mk/segment/woff2	dist/segment.woff2
@42mk/segment/woff	dist/segment.woff
@42mk/segment/ttf	dist/segment.ttf
@42mk/segment/svg	dist/segment.svg
@42mk/segment/glyph-map	dist/glyph-map.json

Direct file reference

<linkrel="preload" href="/@42mk/segment/dist/segment.woff2"
as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin><linkrel="stylesheet" href="/@42mk/segment/dist/segment.css">

Build from source

npm install
npm run build # outputs dist/
npm run clean # removes dist/ and build/

Pipeline: src/svg/*.svg → stroke-expand (oslllo-svg-fixer) → svgicons2svgfont → svg2ttf → ttf2woff + wawoff2 → dist/.

Source SVGs are named {HEX4}-{char}.svg, where the hex prefix is the Unicode codepoint the glyph maps to. Add or replace glyphs by dropping files into src/svg/ using that convention, then rebuild.

Scripts

Command	What it does
npm run build	Build all font formats + CSS into dist/
npm run demo	Serve demo/ on http://localhost:8080

Layout

src/svg/ source glyphs (unicode-prefixed filenames)
scripts/ build pipeline
dist/ built font files + CSS (generated)
