A type experiment made together with Simon Egli (Zurich) at
Central Saint Martin University of Arts



All patterns used in the experiment are taken from books that where produced in the same period of Shakespeare. Borrowed from the British Library.

After buying a CD with all the Shakespeare sonnets we imported the sound files into a program where you can take out all information from the sound and make parameters/rules out of them.

By using the parameters we get a set of rules that our type would follow. And the end result is not controlled by us as designers, but by the set of rules that we set up.

We have now finished this font and can be bought at Gestalten. Preview the font
