Exploring reason through computation, painting grace one stroke at a time
Hello, I’m Chiaki Suzukaze.
I draw, design, and write code—always taking on new projects and slowly working through the backlog. I love near-future and sci-fi works, as well as retro things, especially mechanical calculators and neon signs. I’m a former member of justfont and contributed to the Huninn typeface and open-source font projects. I also enjoy doujin events and cosplay.
What I’m exploring lately
- I’ve been researching Bopomofo (Zhuyin) input-method dictionaries for macOS, including dictionaries and language models for intelligent candidate selection. I also recently made a tool to quickly look up Taiwanese postal codes and English address translations.
- It’s summer, and I want to do a school-swimsuit cosplay photoshoot, but I’m still losing weight 😭

AUSTIN MINI

I own a 1989 classic Austin Mini and love the raw, mechanical feel of the old Mini. Fellow classic-car enthusiasts are always welcome to chat!
Keeping in touch
I have a lot on my plate, so I can be slow to reply.
You’re always welcome to chat or send me a message!
I also don’t check social media very often, so I may miss messages. Thank you for understanding.
A small request
I don’t talk about politics much, and I’m not fond of preachy exchanges or excessive criticism.
I don’t think we need to rush to divide things into absolute right and wrong; often, it’s simply a matter of context.
I’d be happy to connect with kindness and respect.
