A Danish Arts Foundation-supported research project exploring algorithmic and AI-assisted methods for generating letterforms through two distinct approaches: code-defined skeletons and AI-materialised area sketches.

About

Two methodologies underpin the project: a skeleton-based approach that uses JavaScript and vector-drawing code to define letterforms computationally, and an area-based approach that begins with a rough digital sketch and introduces materiality through AI tools. Both shift the designer's focus from precise outline control to directing broader parameters such as weight, width, proportion and stroke detail. The project is positioned as research rather than a retail typeface, with interactive and animated possibilities noted as future directions.

Classification

A research-driven experimental type project exploring algorithmic and AI-assisted letterform generation through two distinct methodologies. The outputs resist standard classification due to their procedural and generative nature.
