A Dynamic Typeface

2009 November 17

laikafont

LAIKA is a new, dynamic type­face, designed and con­structed by Nicolas Kunz and Michael Flückiger. The genius here is that visual ele­ments of the face (such as weight, serif promi­nence, and italic degree) are reframed as para­me­ters, into which can be fed val­ues from any source — either your own key­board, or some­thing more inter­est­ing like weight or dis­tance sen­sors, so the visual typo­graphic form can respond to phys­i­cal fac­tors in an instal­la­tion envi­ron­ment. Try it out!

Ever seen cases of beer used as pix­els for com­pos­ing type? Neither had I. This cre­ative dis­play was found in a gas sta­tion in Oregon around the Fourth of July weekend.
