Well, if you're rounding the forward face of the font, then extrapolate that
rounding to the point where the ends of the rounding curve meet.  Only use
_that_ point as a datum.  Once the entire glyph has been scanned, you should
have something that would be what you'd see if you drew a single line along the
center parts of the wide typeface.  Thus, "Center-line / Single-line" fonts.

Presumably if that were possible, then you'd be more than halfway along to doing
the reverse - taking a single line character and widening it to make a character
with an offset curve.

And that line of thinking leads me to ask: What happens when you start playing
with the isosurface threshold to get the different level sets?
I'd also try defining a pigment {function {YourIsosurfaceFunction}} and applying
that to a box or plane to see what that looks like.  Could be fun esp if you
make a word with min ().  :)

I'm guessing you're using a point cloud / df3 / object pattern sort of approach?
