- TrueType/OpenType font that generates QR codes from bracketed text during text shaping.
- No separate image generation needed; simply type text in brackets and apply the font.
- QR code is still text, allowing copy-paste, storage in plain text, and inline mixing with regular text.
- Browsers may split QR codes across lines due to line-breaking; use 'white-space: nowrap' or 'inline-block' for reliable HTML rendering.
- Includes download links for three font versions and a source repository.
