Formenkryptograf

February 16, 2005

The course “Introduction to typography” consisted of several introductory exercises: line compositions, plane compositions, text compositions.
One of the exercises was to create a typographical translation of the words “balance”, “irritation” and “contact”:

The final exercise was to create an encoded type face:
I created an algorithmic encoding of the classic “Futura” font. See the project-pdf for more information.
