ALGO
 

Generative Typeface


Special thanks to: Roy Tatum (instructor) Taka Iwai (TA)

ALGO is a modular typeface with algorithmic aesthetics. The design process started by creating a set of geometric letterforms that act as the exoskeleton for the typeface. The curves and shape of the letterforms are generated by plotting points around the perimeter of the type and connecting sets of points to each other with straight lines. On each letterform’s corners, the lines are formed based on geometric envelope curves. The typeface is generated by Processing coding program.
