Sparks is an OpenType typeface that renders sparklines (bar, dot, and dot-line charts) directly in text by converting number sequences like `123{30,60,90}456` into inline charts using contextual alternates. It works on the web without JavaScript and in desktop apps like Word, Pages, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

Use cases

  • embed tiny inline charts in text without JavaScript
  • add sparklines to a web page with just a font and CSS
  • render data visualizations inside Word or Pages documents
  • draw sparklines in SVG from live data
  • display inline bar and dot charts in a blog article

When to choose

  • you need lightweight inline charts in flowing text with no JavaScript
  • your data fits a fixed 0-100 scale and can be pre-normalized
  • you want sparklines that work in desktop word processors and design tools

When to avoid

  • you need dynamic scales, axes, tooltips, or interactive charts
  • your target browsers or apps lack OpenType contextual alternates support
  • you need charts larger than a line of text
