Animated Fonts
In this lecture we will learn how to create animated fonts and kinetic typography.

Kinetic Typography
- Research
- Using kinetic typography to convey emotion in text-based interpersonal communication
- CHEIRO: Creating Expressive Textual Communication and Antropomorphic Typography

- Typode by Santiago Ortiz
- TypeCon by Nicholas Felton

- Kinetic Typography Engine by Johnny Chung Lee
- Generative Typography Tutorial by Amnon Owed
- Anitype Website
Homework
- Think of a theme, an emotion or a story you want to express through animated typography
- Create an animation in Processing
- Upload the result to Vimeo
Writing Systems
In this lecture we will explore different writing systems.
Links
Research
- Writing Systems
Software
- RITA Library
Homework
Create some kind of fictional alphabet
- Create a Processing Sketch to display the letters of the alphabet — maybe draw a chart of letters (Did you know Processing can output PDFs?)
- Use the RITA library to create text in your constructed script!
- Please a short paragraph in the wiki detailing the background of your fictional alphabet / writing system / language
- Just posting pretty pictures is not enough
Remember:
- You have two weeks time to finish your homework!
- Keep it simple. It’s okay if you create a writing system for a special domain (For example counting / numbers)
Physical Fonts
In this lecture we will explore 3D fonts.

Examples
- Text in Space
- HoloPoetry by Eduardo Kac
- Takeluma by Peter Cho
- Tendril by Ben Fry
- 3D Glyphs
- Isometric Font by Maxim Tictac
- Type and Form by Carsten Schmidt
- Heterosis 3D curvestitching typography by Brian Benton
Software
- 3D CAD Tools
- Open Source: OpenSCAD, Antimony , [Blender https://www.blender.org/]
- Freeware: [AutoDesk http://www.123dapp.com/], SketchUp
- Mesh Editing
- MeshLab (Mesh cleaning + conversion)
Homework
1. Create a a couple of 3D letters using the 3D tools we explored in class
2. Use the processing sketch to typeset them in 3D space
Remember:
- Processing can handle only OBJ files
- MeshLab is your friend when it comes to conversion between 3D file formats
- You can use this sketch as a starting point
Reading Fonts
In this lecture we will explore optical character recognition
