These beauties are made by illustrator and fiber artist Tomoko Kubo who stitches large hiragana characters (Japan's phonetic syllabary), with little illustrations of things that begin with that sound.

#Fediverse, I need your help again!
tl; dr: I need a font maker software!
I'd like to convert my handwriting into a font for my research output, as I'd like to maintain my personal handwriting in my sketchnotes but I'd like the written notes to be text.
I'm already very familiar with vector graphics and lettering but never made a font so would love an open source/free font design software to start.

Ruben Suprapto Sukonto, theater programs, Semarang, Indonesia, ca. 1931–34.
SN stands for Sine Nomine [Latin: without a name], which was a student organization at a school in Semarang.
We’d love to know more about this artist, who was perhaps influenced by Hendrik Wijdeveld (posting tomorrow), but with a style all their own. See the six pamphlets in the Online Archive: https://oa.letterformarchive.org/?dims=Name_KEY&vals0=SOEKONTOSOEPRAPTO&friendly0=Soekonto%25comma%20Soeprapto
