ABOUT

Phototyper is a system that generates letterforms by filling typographical skeletons using different crops from an image. The typographical skeletons are originally drawn, representing the essential shape of each glyph.

Different textures can be used to fill and thus give shape to each typographic skeleton creating unique letters that can later be applyed to various projects.

Developed by Joana Oliveira (2022) at CDV Lab. as part of the master's degree dissertation project in Multimedia Design, University of Coimbra, Portugal.
