Generator
Muirmcneil · 2015
A geometric type system built for layered composition, originating from exhibition lettering created for a generative art show at Kaleidoscope Gallery in 2015.
About
Developed from poster lettering made for a 2015 exhibition exploring analogue generative systems, Generator has grown into a family of four styles across three weights, each available in positive and negative versions. Every contour and space is engineered to align precisely, allowing fonts to be stacked in interlocking layers or calibrated offsets using layout, bitmap or vector software. The system supports 126 of the 132 possible combinations between its A and B subfamilies, enabling outlines, tints, colours, textures and patterns to interact across letterforms and backgrounds.
Classification
Generator is a geometric display type system built around precise modular construction, designed explicitly for layered and generative visual effects rather than conventional text setting.
