Impossible typefaces?
-
Hello masters of code,
I am fairly new to Drawbot but I have been working on it with Just at KABK. I did this project http://nedkamburov.com/res/project/TypeCoding/ShowcaseDrawbot/website/showcase.html, which was really exciting but I decided it's finished and I need to move on.I want to create another font, maybe with some OpenType features (but that's for later). I was interested in 'impossible typeface'— fonts that are only possible through programming. Any suggestions? Maybe references?
thank you, all the best,
ned

there are plainly of references in generative art, going from artist like Sol Lewit to graphic designers Juriaan Schrofer and many more.
good luck!!

@MauriceMeilleur Hi Maurice, sorry I reply sooo late, but I missed this message. I just wanted to show you what I did at the end of the semester.

Thank you, @frederik, because due to your suggestion, I went to look for some type in the library and found some pretty funky examples.
Thank you, all the best,

@michelangelo Not too late! I can help with stuff like LeWitt and Schrofer, and Crouwel and Albers, etc. anytime.
