Node Font is a shader node group which generates a basic set of Latin letters, numerals, and punctuation marks, using nothing but nodes. When combined with keyframes and other nodes, it can create impressive text effects not possible with ordinary image textures or 3D text objects.

*I should probably mention that this node group is highly experimental and kind of difficult to use!* It is definitely not a time-saving solution, but rather a proof-of-concept that I hope will be fun for others to tinker with.
