Computational Design


TYPEFACE is custom software that translates facial dimensions into generative type design.

The design of typefaces is founded upon principles from the days of metal type, when creating individual fonts was a laborious process and constrained by physical requirements. Most digital type design follows those same conventions, but technology gives us opportunities to make type design more spontaneous and personal.

You interact with TYPEFACE by stepping in front of the camera. The software will find your face and eyes and use these inputs to generate your typeface. Press the spacebar to save.

The Interaction Design Programme


The Interaction Design Programme is a collaborative initiative between Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) and The Danish Design School (DKDS). Our aim is for students, faculty and staff to work together in a multi-cultural, multidisciplinary studio environment to co-create a new kind of education that is relevant for academia and industry.
