A TYPEFACE WITH 63,591 POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS
A short film on the greatest six letters ever drawn.
Font
Six letters cut from the OpenCode wordmark. No curves, no diagonals, no exceptions: every edge falls on a grid of 120-unit modules.
Each letter, rebuilt from nothing: the grid, the metrics, one module at a time, the shade, the outline, and the measurements that prove it.
The same construction as a schedule. Letters with more modules take longer to place; nothing else changes.
Every module lifts by a stated rule: the order it was placed, its row, or its distance from the centre. Equal steps stay equal.
z = e × 180u × (6 − row)
row = 0 at the ascender, 6 at the descender
One page per letter: identity, measurements and every point of its outline in font units.

Ink, counters, symmetry and the 28 positions of the grid, counted across all six letters.
Thirty-six pairs. Every one of them spaced by the same 120 units. The kerning table is empty, and that is the point.

Type with the six letters. Other characters stay empty.
Every visit maps 3,591 characters to six letters.
That makes 6³⁵⁹¹ possible fonts, a number 2,795 digits long.
The observable universe holds about 10⁸⁰ atoms.
Put a whole universe inside every one of those atoms.
Then a universe inside every atom of those, and keep going.
34 levels down there are 10²⁷²⁰ atoms. Still short.
At level 35 there are 10²⁸⁰⁰, finally more than 6³⁵⁹¹.
Your font is one of them.
