The field of typography is delving into a new realm: generative design. Propelled by recent developments in programming libraries that make coding approachable for creatives and newcomers, typography is becoming kinetic, malleable, and interactive. In this 20 minute talk, we’ll look at how it all works under the hood, and the exciting possibilities of generative typography.
