What Brutalita is

Brutalita is a free, browser-based editor and experimental geometric font project. You can modify glyphs in the editor and download a custom font as an OTF file. The project includes Brutalita proportional and Brutalita Mono families, each offered in nine weights from Thin through Black. OTF files target desktop use, while WOFF2 files support web use. Both families cover printable ASCII, Spanish accented characters, inverted punctuation, and the ↕ character. A command-line tool builds OTF fonts without opening the editor. Its commands build, render, validate, inspect, initialize, and watch font sources, and it can render text as a single-stroke SVG. The CLI supports weights from 1 to 1000. Brutalita says it is made with SVG and OpenType.js. The repository credits Javier Bórquez and identifies the BSD 3-Clause license. The listed platform is web, with no collaboration feature indicated.
