“helvetica face” project creates dynamically generated font from user pictures
crowd-sourced collaborative font uses high-contrast webcam images submitted by users, to create what designer naoki nishimura is calling the “livetype” font format.
“while normal fonts which are governed by software rules on how to show the internal form (=data), helvetica face doesn’t have this internal information on the form. what is does have is external data given in the shape of a image of your face, and how to show that form is the only rule. for that reason, through the given data, the form continues to change without bounds.”
