poetry alphabet

another curiosity i decided to pursue was what i could do with the stories themselves that people gave me, and whether there was something in the word choice that made them emote the feeling that they did.

i've been creating poetry typefaces out of phrases that appear in people's writing samples to combine and recombine into not only experimental typography but experimental text. for instance, this is the alphabet in my happy poetic font.

here it is in action. the following simply says "text:"

this font allows for two layers of meaning, the secretive input text that cannot be translated without a decoder, and the repetitive/remixed output text. i'm really excited about this part.
