@am517 am517 released this 06 Jul 02:41

Changes

  • Fixed halfwidth character mappings so they now correctly resolve to the same glyph as their fullwidth counterparts. This resolves display inconsistencies for characters that exist in both forms (e.g., punctuation and Latin letters in CJK context).

All other features, color variants, and stroke-order data remain unchanged from v0.010.

Notes
This is a small compatibility improvement. No new variants or features were added.

SaiKanji v0.010 — First Release

This is the initial public release of SaiKanji (彩漢字), a color stroke-order font derived from KanjiVG data. Explore the variants in the demo.

What's Included

  • Multiple color schemes with per-stroke gradients
  • Stroke order numbers embedded directly in the font
  • Optional character grids
  • Both Gradient and Solid color versions
  • Support for both desktop (.ttf) and web (.woff2) use

Available Variants

SaiKanji includes many variants so you can choose the style that fits your needs:

  • 8 Color Palettes: Regular, Balanced, Contrast, Spectrum (+ light versions)
  • Gradient and Solid fill options
  • With Grid and Without Grid versions

Installation

  1. Download the desired .ttf or .woff2 file from the Assets section below.
  2. Install the font on your system or include it in your web project.

Notes

  • This is the first public release. While the fonts have been visually tested, they are still relatively new.
  • The code was developed with significant AI assistance, but all direction and final quality review were done by a human.
  • Colors are currently fixed per variant. Per-stroke CSS customization is not yet supported (this may be added in a future release).
