Datatype is data as type

Datatype is an OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images, no rendering library — just type the syntax and Datatype’s ligature substitution does the rest.

    I love that you can select it like text (because it is), and you copy-paste the raw data in plain text.

      It’s pretty neat but I think a drawback is that the data needs to be normalized. I don’t think you can put the raw data in there.

        Ah, yeah, good point. It does need to be normalized between 0-100, but still pretty cool that you can do that.
