About the project
A font reconstructed from photographs of Commodore 64 keycaps: uppercase letters, digits, symbols, f1–f12 labels, and all 63 PETSCII graphic legends. It lets you reproduce authentic C64 keycap lettering in text and design.
Useful for

- Open preview.html, copy a symbol, and paste it into a layout
- Build a custom font from the editable outlines in glyphs/ using the scripts

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
