Plot your name
Type a word and it is engraved in hatching. The word is its own seed, so your name always plots the same way.

How it works
This one comes from the old Plotter Lab. Your word is turned into a number, and that number seeds everything random in the plot, so the same word always gives the same sheet.
The letters are set in Instrument Serif, outlined, then hatched in three layers from light at the head to dark at the foot. The second pen adds the shadow last. The SVG is ready for a plotter: one group per pen.
