Coddy Round

Coddy Round is Audiowide with every sharp outer corner rounded, the way the Coddy wordmark is drawn. The weight, proportions and curves are Audiowide's own; each outer corner is filleted with a radius of half the stem, so every stroke ends in a half circle, and the inner corners stay crisp.

It is the display typeface of coddy.tech, where it sets the logo and headlines.

Weights and coverage

Five weights, drawn rather than synthesized: Regular 400, Medium 500, SemiBold 600, Bold 700 and ExtraBold 800. Each heavier weight is an outward offset of Audiowide's outlines, vertical strokes more than horizontal ones, with the baseline, x-height and cap height held in place and Audiowide's designed slits (the detached arm of E, the bowl of d, the slot of a) kept open, then the same rounding.

Latin covers Western, Central and Eastern European languages and Turkish. Cyrillic covers Russian, plus Є І Ї; the Cyrillic letters Audiowide never had are drawn from its own parts and stroke. A few symbols are included too: → ← ↑ ↓ ≤ ≥ ≠ ✓ №.

Building

The fonts are built from Audiowide by a Python script, in one step:

python3 -m venv venv && . venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./build.sh

build.sh writes fonts/ttf/ and fonts/webfonts/ and OFL.txt. The build is deterministic: the same sources give byte-identical fonts.

build.sh           builds everything
requirements.txt   pinned Python dependencies
