A text written by hand contains along the linguistic semantic level a second level of meta information including traces of personality, the individual style of writing and even the persons moods. In the past years text is written in large part using a keyboard on a personal computer producing linear, optimized and standardized text. In the modern digital world opportunities to experiment and play with type informally as one would in other contexts are lacking.
Therefore i created a custom software for typing experiences that opposed to linear word processing explores the unique capabilities of digitality for aesthetic explorations.
My project is an experimental research tool that renders visible individual writing styles on a personal computer using responsive typography in order to achieve a unique and personal representation of text. Hence a system creating a digital writing ductus generated by individual user input analogous to handwriting.
