Garden of Aether
Céline Hurka Type Foundry · Céline Hurka · 2022
A variable lettering commission designed for Adam Centko's 2022 simulation artwork, used across a title animation, a custom PC case and an interactive website.
About
Built on a single variable axis with three sources, the lettering was created to accompany a real-time computer simulation exploring sustainability and digital infrastructure. Its variable nature suited the ever-changing character of the artwork, appearing in motion as a title sequence and in static form on the physical hardware housing. The project context – an installation built in Unreal Engine 5 with quadriphonic sound – shaped the lettering's role as both functional title and conceptual artefact.
Classification
A bespoke commissioned lettering piece with a single variable axis across three sources, designed for digital motion and installation use rather than text setting. Classified as display due to its purely titling and decorative function.
