Collaborative Typeface
Workshop where participants draw shapes together that form letters of a typeface and make a poster

★ Varley Memorial Award Nominee

First, participants draw shapes on the templates.

* The mark in the angle helps to recognise a template programmatically later.

† Participants have to follow this line when drawing.

Then we scan the drawings with a flat-bed scanner.

The drawings are turned digitally into a typeface in real time as they get scanned, using a program written with Python and Java Script.

After that, we write things that were said during the workshop.

And make a poster with them.

That’s all, folks!
