MARTy-109 (Machine-Augmented Responsive Typography)

About

An AI generated typeface to convey emotions

Much of our conversations today are typed rather than spoken, yet typed text does not visually convey the emotions or meaning of what is being said. Machine-Assisted Responsive Typography (MARTy) explores the possibilities offered by digital typography paired with artificial intelligence (AI). Using natural language analysis and dynamic variation of characters, the machine interprets the meaning of a given text and translates it visually. The shape of the letters changes constantly thanks to the billion variations contained in the font, offering dynamic graphics that better convey the emotions held within a typed message.
