This project’s primary theme is the line, which is being discussed along the question: “How can we achieve exceptional visual quality using basic algorithms and operations such as duplication, rotation and scaling?” The initially playful use of ActionScript-programming led to a rich variation repertoire of “VP ANDALE MONO” representations.
The font’s appearance can be altered through parameter modification and the choice of algorithms to be used.

The font repertoire “VP ANDALE MONO” is based on the “Andale Mono” font.
