Data design company After the Flood created a font called AtF Spark to address the problem of incorporating high-level data insights into feeds without Javascript by enabling people to communicate this sort of quantitative information on the web without coding. Tiny charts in text (or sparklines) are a [data visualization tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-graph-maker) that increase understanding and the London-based studio want to make them more accessible with their numbers-transforming [opentype font](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-tester). AtF Sparkface turns a series of numbers into a graph in the middle of your sentence and works across a variety of web browsers, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Word and other platforms.
