In a serif like Garamond (but the problem is general), the thick straight pipes (as in /I/) have a certain width, but then it is necessary to build the inclined pipes (the right for the /M/, those for the /W/ etc.).
Now, if the straight pipes are simply inclined (as in certain automatisms allowed by the editor for fonts), they are decidedly thinner, and the thinner the more inclined.
Is there a sort of "algorithm" to calculate exactly the thickness of such inclined pipes, in relation to straight ones, according to the degree of inclination?

Now I try to work both by eye and "trigonometrically", to see the differences between the two proceduresento
