Robotype

Interactive text tool that allows the user to choose a font family and then select letters to create text art.

“Paco Bascuñán asked us to col.laborate with him in the creation and development of an interactive piece amongst Die Scheuche. Märchen. a kid’s story published in 1925 in the MERZ 14/15 magazine. The story was created by Kurt Schwitters, col.laborating with Käte Steinitz & Theo van Doesburg.

“That’s Robotype, a type comoposer, that allows playing with letters as graphic elements, exploring each one of the forms, something so extended as typography, draw, design, compose, create..” (from the Robotype web site).
