Dec 23, 2015 at 22:11 comment added Ilmari Karonen What you seem to be looking for is a stroke-based font, as opposed to the "outline fonts" that are more common nowadays.
Dec 23, 2015 at 17:16 comment added Giovanni Mascellani @ZachSaucier The description of the font is one dimensional, meaning that it makes use of lines, but not of areas. The space where the font gets drawn is two dimensional, of course.

Dec 23, 2015 at 9:43 comment added Chris H Just as an idea of an application, I wrote a Raspberry Pi demo to plot paths of an SVG on an XY oscilloscope -- this would have been perfect for that. Admittedly this is an unusual medium (as is the pen-plotter I intend to use it on later).
Dec 23, 2015 at 9:15 comment added Gerald Schneider The closest thing to a one dimensional font would be a barcode.

Dec 23, 2015 at 2:51 comment added Zach Saucier There's still two dimensions, there is just no inside :P
Dec 23, 2015 at 2:46 comment added DavidC What is your desired application for the font? I can't see any use in a single stroke font for designing so I'm assuming you are wanting this for a blueprint or engraving. What program are you intending to use the font on?
