- Abstract:
-
We present five recent puzzle fonts — where reading glyphs in the font
require solving a puzzle — that illustrate five different
puzzles/puzzle games, each with a corresponding mathematical result.
Each font is an open-source interactive web application that lets
the user write messages in the font, and then solve the resulting puzzles
(or send them to a friend to solve), revealing the message.
