Generative Type Design

an approach focused on skeletons extraction

and their anatomical deconstruction

With the digital revolution appeared the personal computers and tools that came to facilitate the design of fonts. As a result, more fonts appeared, but with them the uncertainty of their quality. It is necessary to create tools that established a balance between what the user can determine and what the system does autonomously. On the other hand, the society in which we live is dependent on personalization. Suggestions according to our views become increasingly a requirement on social networks.

In order to answer these questions we came up with the idea of a computer system that would allow the design of fonts in a generative way.

Three aspects were worked out: (i) the development of the structure of the typefaces generated and the codification of the different elements of the anatomy of the letter in different layers; (ii) the combination of layers of different typefaces; and (iii) the creation of fonts through the generation/ modification of the elements of these layers.
