Fond de riz · Cédric Rossignol-Brunet
A typeface generated by running OCR analysis across pages of Lucretia's 'De la nature', using Tesseract's confidence levels to select and multiply letterforms into distinct stylistic instances.
About
Each variant corresponds to a range of OCR confidence scores, producing five subfamilies that reflect varying degrees of recognition accuracy and letterform degradation. The process treats the scanned book page as raw typographic material, with algorithmic filtering as the design tool. The result is a set of glyphs that carry the noise and uncertainty of machine reading as an aesthetic quality.
Classification
Generated through OCR scanning of pages from Lucretia's 'De la nature', the letterforms are algorithmically selected by Tesseract OCR confidence levels, producing an experimental, degraded display typeface unlike any conventional classification.
