Found Font Family
summary
Builds a tiny font with cat sprites, binds them to kitty font mapped to private-use codepoints, and drives animation by a Python loop that cycles characters so terminals show motion because terminals only render text. Explains vector vs bitmap glyphs and Bezier curves, warns that font tooling and OS font fallback are fiddly and took weeks to make work, notes emoji additions take ~2 years, and demos vector glyph sprites animated by cycling codepoints and variable-font axis for animation.
