odditype is a web application that adds some oddity to your types.
Pick one of the fonts on the left and randomise it to your heart’s desire.
See your new typeface in action in one of the ten rotating pangrams or write your personal message.
Happy with what you see? Make sure to print your text to keep as a souvenir,
and e-mail yourself the newly generated odd typeface as an .otf file! Happy demo-ing ☺︎

The randomiser works by going over all the points of the individual glyphs and adding a random number between 0 and your given value to the coordinates.
The higher the value you pick, the more discrepancy there will be between the points and thus the more randomness.
Going into the negatives will result in weird overlaps in the glyphs, making them look interesting, but ultimately not functional as a real font.

(github repository), where you can find a README with more detailed information, or try the code for yourself.
