A few months back (actually back in July 2014) we worked with CAN and Amnon Owed to put together this great Processing tutorial about Generative Typography. Amnon Owed is a master at exploring the combination of type and code, and he was gracious enough to put together this very informative tutorial along with posting all the code examples up on a GIT repo.
Here is a snippet from the article intro:
“In this tutorial we will show you how to explore the creative possibilities of typography with code. Using the programming environment Processing, we will be going through a wide variety of techniques and algorithms. These code examples all have one thing in common: they start with type. But while they all use typographic base forms as a starting point, they subsequently move into very different creative territories. Some use an aggregate drawing technique, much like a traditional painting. Placing layer upon layer to create subtle trails or interesting shape compositions. Other code examples show you how to export code-created visuals as high-quality vectors using…”
