Typeface

Using the game to generate type


  • Using the land and a tool that can create hills, craters, and water, the letter A is created. This proved to be an easy method to create type as there are many options to adjust the appearance of it. For example, the height of the land could be adjusted, the thickness of the land being changed, resulting in a different thickness of letter, etc.
  • Once made a screenshot is taken to edit it in photoshop. By deleting the background, the letterform is clearer and able to use as part of a typeface.
  • This method of creating type maybe useful for type used in headings or as part of imagery, etc. however it would not work for large amounts of text due to its limited readability.
  • This method is also useful for adopting and then adapting typefaces that have already been made as they can easily be replicating through this form.
