I'm building a web-based browser game based on Maya culture (with vast liberties, so far it's just a trigonometry problem). To make my job easier I build a hand-drawn font stub, using Calligraphr. There's supposed to already be Unicode support, but I couldn't be bothered figuring it out. If this is helpful to anybody feel free to download the TrueType or OpenType versions.
In order to use this font in a website you can just upload it to your website and use an @font-face, like this:
@font-face{
font-family: 'mayanumerals';
src: url('Mayanumerals-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: 100;
font-style: normal;
font-display: swap;
}
The Maya numeral system is very intersting, it is a base-20 system with some irregularities, which I'll utterly ignore in my game.
