Tangential, on the "lo-fi" theme: Looking at old stuff, I like how typewritten documents with charts literally pencilled in have a certain not-quite-perfect, straight-from-the-lab feel to them. By contrast, anything produced using modern methods, be they TeX or Pages.app, looks so damn... finished, for want of a better word (and any imperfections become jarring, rather than charming). What’s a good way of getting that feel, without resorting to downright emulation of low-tech methods (monospaced or even pixel-based fonts, that xkcd graph look for matplotlib, ...)? (Edit: grammar)
Yes, I love that font, and “DSE Typewriter” by the same creator. However, using them means emulating low tech, and I would like to find a way to avoid that.
I tried designing one of those SSH attack-map websites based around the interfaces in 2001: A Space Odyssey, like these here[1]. It was difficult, I was trying "emulation of low-tech methods" as you said. I think if you could run a shader over top of a web page it'd be easier. I didn't research it that deeply but I don't think that's really a supported use case for web shaders, it would block inputs from using the website if I'm understanding correctly.
