Monoline text

Its purpose is to draw text as vector line strokes instead of using a font.

Uses a built-in vector “font”

The huge simplex array at the top is a stroke-based font definition.
Each ASCII character (letters, numbers, symbols) is described as line coordinates, not filled shapes.
Characters are drawn using single-line paths (monoline), similar to CNC/plotter fonts.

When you run the script, it shows a dialog where you can:

Enter font size (in points)
Type or paste text (supports multiple lines)
Click OK to generate the text, or Cancel to exit

Base Step (for all styles)

Run the Monoline Text script.
Enter your text and font size.
Click OK to generate monoline vector paths.
Ungroup the result (Object > Ungroup) if needed.

This artwork explores typography beyond filled shapes, using single-line vector strokes to build expressive letterforms. Each word is drawn from continuous paths, then pushed through rotation, repetition, and motion-like distortions to create playful, technical, and generative text styles. Designed with a monoline script, these forms stay lightweight, editable, and perfect for experimentation—where code, geometry, and typography meet.
