Thanks for the link! Happy to answer any questions.

A couple details that didn't make it to the blog post:

* I tried some smoother connection approaches than just intersecting the lines, but couldn't get it to look good in any way. Lots of very ugly iterations in between.

* At one point I/Codex needed to adjust some of the kerning and glyphs to avoid tiny line artifacts between connected characters, on visible at certain resolution/size combos. Not sure if that was the standard solution either.
