Upload a font and Woodpile turns its letterforms into adjustable striped patterns you can push around with the cursor.

Why it exists

Woodpile is a generative typography tool: drop in a font and it fills its letterforms with adjustable stripes, controlled by sliders for size, line height, thickness, gap and angle.

A small physics layer gives the strokes air resistance, bounciness and friction, so you can shove the pattern around with the cursor. Built in p5.js, all client-side.

Automated review based on the public listing, not hands-on testing.

This sounds like a neat generative typography tool, but font parsing is often where things break. What happens with variable fonts, or fonts with unusual kerning tables or missing hinting data? A concrete next test would be uploading a handful of free variable fonts (like those from Google Fonts) and checking whether the stripe patterns still align correctly with letterforms at different weights, or whether the cursor interaction lags on complex glyphs.
