The Secret Type Garden
Céline Hurka Type Foundry · Céline Hurka · 2023
A generative typographic poem created in collaboration with Studio Pointer, treating Céline Hurka's variable typefaces as characters in an interactive digital landscape with an accompanying soundscape by Torus.
About
Conceived as part of Variable Lab, an ongoing exchange between Hurka and Studio Pointer on the state of variable typography, the work uses typefaces as narrative entities rather than tools. The generative soundscape by Torus accompanies the visual landscape, and the piece is designed for desktop access only. It was supported by Stimuleringsfonds.
Classification
An experimental generative typographic work using variable font technology as its medium; classified as display due to its entirely expressive, non-utilitarian application of type.
