David Zwicker – Typeable Images
by David Zwicker
What happens when a typeface steps outside the boundaries of the vector? Typeable Images is a type design and research project that explores this question through emoji font technology, a medium that allows typefaces to be built from pixels rather than paths. Across analog and digital processes, the project reinterprets a single typeface through distinct artistic styles, from analog to digital reproduction, producing image-based fonts that can be typed, combined and overlaid. Typeable Images offers a new human-machine interaction, as well as a new dimension for type design.
