Gratament impressionat. Treballo amb la creació gràfica per a vídeo i televisió i m’ha impressionat alguns dels effectes que aconseguixes amb les tipografies.
Felicitats.
Beautiful work overall. I think Dibuixant is my favorite of all these variations, because here you can really feel the physicality of the pen as it draws the marks.
lovely… iwish that the application had some interactivity as in one could type in the letter he/sh wants to see by far only letree and Hilos have it.
Fantastic work!
Stunning to look at and fascinating to see it all come from some algorithms.
There are some glitches in the way your program traces characters. For instance, for the name “David”, the dot in the “i” and the vertical stick in “d” are incomplete. I think this must have to do with how you andle the starting and ending points of the curves. Since these are closed curves, the contour should be continuous, with no gaps. To many people this wouldn’t matter, but I find it quite distracting to see this glitch in the character contours.
wonderful caligraphy here. very inspiring!

This is my favorite too. Who said that artificial art is a somewhat lesser form ?
Plus, being able to “teach” a computer do it … That’s something!
