This short paper explores a straightforward insight: that the basic features of visual perception map instructively onto letterform skeletons Latin alphabet. Linking findings from ith knowledge about typography and reading might advance our how letterforms function visually. could be used to develop formal measure legibility, rovide means distinguish between text display typeface, provide guida...

Digital typography is a very specialized field that offers two widely different yet complementary aspects:art and computer science.This paper presentsProject Didot, which is all about teaching digital typography. While taking into account recent experience, the authors explore some subjects that should be included in a digital typography course and describe the various trades it would be aimed ...

In this paper, we propose a new network architecture for Chinese typography transformation based on deep learning. The architecture consists of two sub-networks: (1)a fully convolutional network(FCN) aiming at transferring specified typography style to another in condition of preserving structure information; (2)an adversarial network aiming at generating more realistic strokes in some details....

This visual essay seeks to substantiate and illustrate the tenet that formal–structural elements in graphic design carry rhetorical functions. Based on a National Geographic feature article, authors demonstrate methods for ‘measuring’ layout, colour typography, show results infographic visualizations. At same time, study showcases epistemic value of these The perspective adopted puts double-pag...

We introduce the concept of reactive typography with the aim of exploiting the nature of electronic text in the design of interfaces to a shared information space. The usefulness of reactive typography is gauged through a few simple experiments. We describe how reactive typography can be used as a medium for in-context data visualisation and argue how this investigation is related to the presen...

Reverse engineering of typefaces has been an active research area of digital typography. However, past research works are limited to typographic parameters extraction and curve fitting, and no reverse-engineering equivalent of any classical digital typesetting software (e.g. METAFONT compiler, LTEX package) exist to date. Interestingly, the rise of cloud computing has made large scale reverse t...
