# szabadkai/c64-keyboard-font

> 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.

- Magnitude: 6.3 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 187 total · +155 stars measured 2026-10-07, 10:18–12:38 UTC, ≈ 227 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Other · Language: Python · Created: 2026-10-05 · Last push: 2026-10-05
- GitHub: https://github.com/szabadkai/c64-keyboard-font · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/szabadkai/c64-keyboard-font

## Useful for

- Install the TTF and type PETSCII symbols in a graphic design app
- 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 10:18–12:38: 32 → 187 stars (+155). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +227 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 187 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #59.
- Hacker News: “A font recreated from photographs of classic Commodore 64 keycaps” — 150 points, 3 h ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 3
- Issues and pull requests: 6
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 77 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 59

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-04 … 2026-10-07: 0, 1, 2, 155

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
