As the name suggests, any sitelen pona character is made out of blocks that fit into a box of 5 times 5 blocks. To do so, it sometimes relies on alternate versions of the glyphs. Of all computer-installable pixel fonts, it achieves the lowest amount of blocks

{{tp|insa pi supa lape}} is a pixel based font in which the blocks got smoothed out, just like the font "Bedstead" by ~bjh21, which the {{tp|insa pi supa lape}} is based on. It uses 5x9 pixel blocks as a basis for the characters. Like many other pixel based fonts, it uses some alternate drawings for some of the words. Alongside light and bold versions, the font is available as a standard version with ligatures and a "basic" version without ligatures.

In 2014, Christophe Bouteiller made a website in toki pona (tomolipu.net) with all texts exclusively in sitelen pona. Because fonts were still in their infancy or didn't exist at all, each individual character was included in the page as an SVG element. In 2019, Pascal Guimier used these SVGs to create a font. At that point, the website was already offline and it took until May 2022 to refind and properly credit the original author of the glyphs.

Single-letter words need to be doubled or need a space after them. Cartouches require an underscore before each character to close. Character extensions work with the "greater than" sign <code>></code> or the "plus" sign <code>+</code> and require double underscore under each character for the underline.

Revision as of 15:07, 20 December 2023

Under construction This article needs work:

VERY preliminary, and so many fonts need to get their information filled out and get at least a little description, if possible check what history there is to the font etc.

If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

Many fonts have been created for Toki Pona and its original writing systems, with varying feature sets. For the purpose of this article, only SFNT fonts are considered (fonts that have a file that is installable on modern computers - like TTF, OTF - or a file that can be embedded on a website - including WOFF, WOFF2).

Key

Infoboxes on this page include images to showcase features of interest.

Key Description
Fonts with glyphs in the UCSUR sitelen pona range
Fonts that allow for cartouches to fully wrap around a name
Fonts that allow for ASCII transcription: typing Toki Pona words in the Latin alphabet results in the words getting converted into standalone symbols through OpenType ligatures
Fonts that are monospaced, in which each character's width (including margins) takes up the same amount of space
Fonts that allow a variation of pi to extend its horizontal line below multiple succeeding glyphs
Fonts that allow characters other than pi to stretch with extension lines

5x5 sitelen pona is a minimalist pixelated font created by jan Sewaka and jan Weko. Due to the limitations of the font-making program Fontstruct, the sitelen pona glyphs take on space in the Unicode blocks designated Latin characters, sharing codepoints with some other Fontstruct fonts.[a]

As the name suggests, any sitelen pona character is made out of blocks that fit into a box of 5 times 5 blocks. To do so, it sometimes relies on alternate versions of the glyphs. Of all computer-installable pixel fonts, it achieves the lowest amount of blocks

Fairfax is a font family comprising 11 individual fonts, which are designed to cover all the script in the UCSUR.[4] It was created and maintained by Rebecca Bettencourt (jan Lepeka), who is also in charge of UCSUR. sitelen pona was added to UCSUR in 26 August 2021.

The main series (without an ending) consits of 6x12 pixelated fonts. The "HD" series refers to a vector font. HD supercedes the "SD" series of pixel fonts, however, those are still maintained. Finally, the "Pona" series refers to those fonts that allow Toki Pona words to be converted from ASCII to sitelen pona through OpenType ligatures.

As of November 2023, the following fonts have support for sitelen pona:

  • Fairfax
  • Fairfax Serif
  • Fairfax Pona
  • Fairfax Hax
  • Fairfax Serif Hax
  • Fairfax HD
  • Fairfax Pona HD

insa pi supa lape is a pixel-based font in which the blocks got smoothed out, similar to the font "Bedstead" by ~bjh21, which the insa pi supa lape is based on. It uses 5x9 pixel blocks as a basis for the characters. Like many other pixel based fonts, it uses some alternate drawings for some of the words. Alongside light and bold versions, the font is available as a standard version with ligatures and a "basic" version without ligatures.

2 character charts of pixelated sitelen pona were made: a version where each glyph takes up 7x7 pixel blocks and one where they take up 15x15 blocks. The latter was made into a font.

Note that each word needs a space following after to get transformed into sitelen pona.

When typing out words in Latin characters, the font exploits the OpenType ligature feature to show intermediate animated steps of a glpyh and in-between drawings for names that start the same.

linja Sipiki is a 6x6 pixel font created by jan Sikipi. The cartouches are filled out instead of having lines around the glyphs, and the glyphs inside are inverted to be invisible (i.e. with a black font color and a white background, regular characters are black on white, but a cartouche would be one big black spot and the characters inside the cartouche are white on black).

First publication 30 January 2021

The glyphs in this font are supposed to be in a handdrawn style similar to the drawings in Toki Pona: The Language of Good. Its initial goal was to have a glyph for all words in the nimi ale pona word list.

This font allows for Latin words by either adding 1 after single-letter words or by adding hyphens (which the font doesn't render) inside longer words.

First publication 31 December 2019

In 2014, Christophe Bouteiller made a website in toki pona (tomolipu.net) with all texts exclusively in sitelen pona. Because fonts were still in their infancy or didn't exist at all, each individual character was included in the page as an SVG element. In 2019, Pascal Guimier used these SVGs to create a font. At that point, the website was already offline and it took until May 2022 to refind and properly credit the original author of the glyphs.

While the original website used the monospaced glyhps, using an equally-wide space as punctuation, the font is not monospaced, doesn't provide any spaces and adds Latin punctuation. The original website displayed names in Latin, the font added cartouches

Single-letter words need to be doubled, have a space after or an exclamation word after. An underscore is needed in front of each character to close the cartouche. misikeke is misspelled as "misekeke".

This font was the first to implement the nimi panke.

linja pimeja is a handwritten-style font similar to a thick marker pen created by increpare (jan Inkepa) in 2019. In 2021, jan Ke Tami created an expansion on it, while also merging features with sitelen pona pona, resulting in unrecognised characters to be automatically converted into a cartouche with Latin characters. Five nimi ku suli glyphs were also added:

  • The glyph for kijetesantakalu is taken from one of the kijetesantakalu o! comics.
  • The glyph for oko is an edit of suli, lukin and ijo
  • The glyph for kin is an edit of a and lete
  • The glyph for namako is an edit of sin
  • The glyph for tonsi is an edit of jan and sin

Nishiki-teki (Japanese: にしき的フォント; Hepburn: Nishiki-teki fonto) is a massive Unicode-compliant font with additional glyphs for a very wide range of purposes, created by jan Umijotalu (Japanese: うみほたる; Hepburn: Umihotaru). It is a shell of a font named "Nishiki" by Ukagaka, with the shell appearing many times as glyphs in the font.[10]

On 1 November 2022, sitelen pona glyphs were added, according to UCSUR, allowing for over 31 thousand possible character combinations.[11][12]

Nishiki-teki lili is a derivation of Nishiki-teki created by jan Ke Tami to reduce file size, only including the sitelen pona glyphs. On April 2023, ligatures were added to the font.

First publication 3 February 2022[18]

Toki Pona Bubble is a pair of fonts created by Jordan W. Martin in 2022.[18] They feature characters outlines with patterns inside as a lineart version and the the color font has all the characters colored in red, blue, green, or yellow, with the outline and the pattern in a darker shade.

The colored version serves as a basis for a downloadable poster which shows all supported sitelen pona characters on one sheet. Colored fonts are not supported everywhere. If the color feature is not supported, the font tends to get displayed as black (or whatever the default color is set to) anywhere there is color. As a result, they may look like bold black characters, which should not hinder legibility.

Features
First publication 20 July 2014

toki pona OTF is a uniform line weight font and the first sitelen pona font ever made, first published only 2 months after the publication of Toki Pona: The Language of Good. Its ASCII transcription has some oddities that users might want to be aware of:

  • ken (U+E618) and kepeken (U+E619) only exist as Private Area Use codepoints and are unaccessible by typing them out in the Latin alphabet.
  • a, e and o only get converted into sitelen pona if an x is added after, to distinguish them from their Latin counterparts.
  • Any word also gets converted into sitelen pona if the first letter is capitalized
  • The string zz serves as a separator between glyphs. However, unlike modern fonts, it is only a zero-width space instead of an ideographic space.
  • The string tokipona gets converted into the Toki Pona symbol.

codepoints only

Unifont CSUR is a companion font to GNU Unifont and is part of the GNU Project. GNU Unifont got started in 1998 and today the project covers over 2 million codepoints. It can be found in most free operating systems. The base font has glyphs in Unicode Plane 0, Plane 2 and Plane 3. Unifont CSUR has glyphs in Plane 0 and Plane 15.

In the 17 April 2022 release (Unifont 14.0.03), Paul Hardy added sitelen pona, along side some other UCSUR scripts (Xaîni, Ophidian, Niji, Shidinn). As of 4 November 2023, all UCSUR characters have been encoded, but the format codepoints exist as solid characters instead of serving their formatting functions, leading character combinations, character extensions and cartouches to be broken. This kind of limitation is generally the case wth GNU Unifont and companion fonts, and it is meant as a font of "last resort".[19]

sitelen Antowi (Android) is a reimagining of sitelen pona characters as if they were material design UI icons (as used, for example, for apps or setting pictograms on mobile operating systems). As a result, most glyphs are altered in some shape or form, and even taking inspiration from alternate forms of a glyph instead of the standard glyph. Below are some useful tips for typing:

  • Capitalized words will get autocartouched
  • Non-latin cartouches need an underscore as a separator after each word
  • Extended pi requires a + after pi and +pi as a new word after each word underlined by the pi extension line
  • Alternate forms of glyphs can be reached by adding - after the word

TokiTengwar is an adaptation of the Tengwar alphabet from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings universe, to allow typing toki pona words. Below are some useful tips for typing:

  • A puts the vowel marker "a" further to the left, which is useful to put it over consonant glyphs
  • q serves as a stem for vowels without a preceding consonant
  • syllable-final "-n" can be typed with either N or M
  • ` adds a paragraph marker
  • , adds an interpunct
