Lately I’ve been working on a tool with my Friend Valentin Drown ( @valentindown on twitter ). We’ve been dabbling with creating a generative typography toolkit to allow export their own remixes of typefaces. We created a simple tool that lets you layout words as blocks, to use any .ttf or .otf font on your computer, choose your own color palette, and also to save all these settings into a single saved text file and be able to load it later.

    This looks fantastic! Any further developments? I would love to play around with it, is it available to the public at all?

    You sure can get it publicly ! All the source code is written in c++ with Open Frameworks ( 007+ should work ) https://github.com/benMcChesney/FontOutlineAgents

    I’ve moved onto other projects for the time being though
