MyType Generative Design Prototype
MyType offers the opportunity for people to reflect their individuality through the medium of
typography. It is an interactive typeface generator that determines its parameters on the basis of answers to a survey of personal questions input by the user. One pre-existing typeface is correlated with each possible answer, and each question is aligned with one segment of the new letter form. On completion of the survey the user has created a hybrid piece of typography which reflects their responses. MyType has been created in Processing using the p5.js core library DOM, and utilises a variety of renowned typefaces by typographers such as Paul Renner, Howard Kettler and other notable designers.
