TYPEFACE

Student: Mary Huang  ·  Year: 2009  ·  Course: Computational Design

TYPEFACE is custom software that translates facial dimensions into generative type design.

The design of typefaces is founded upon principles from the days of metal type, when creating individual fonts was a laborious process and constrained by physical requirements. Most digital type design follows those same conventions, but technology gives us opportunities to make type design more spontaneous and personal.

You interact with TYPEFACE by stepping in front of the camera. The software will find your face and eyes and use these inputs to generate your typeface. Press the spacebar to save.
