In insect metamorphosis, imaginal discs are pockets of predetermined cells that remain dormant during larval life, then rapidly differentiate into adult structures. Similarly, an "imaginal disk font" is a typographic system where individual glyphs are not drawn whole but emerge from a shared, modular set of strokes or "cell glyphs."
