Fontastic is a Processing library to create font files
What can you do with Fontastic? Create fonts with code!
Fontastic is a library for creating font files in TTF and WOFF format which you can then use in any design program or website.
It allows you to make fonts based on data, sensors, live feeds, or any other algorithm, or manipulate existing fonts to create your own version (see examples).
Fontastic was designed to make it as easy as possible to create a font in Processing.
Under the hood, it uses doubletype, a Java font editor that builds font files according to the TrueType format, and sfntly to create Web Open Font Format files.

Panel discussion: Interactive Spaces with Project Projects, FXFOWLE, and Alan Brake
Tuesday, May 14th, 6:30–8:00 pm
161 Bowery, 2nd Floor, New York 10002
How does a body interact with a building? How do people interact socially within spaces? How do commissions interact with the design process? How do communities interact with one another? Architecture has long been interested in questions of interaction and new technologies – indeed, many ideas about the development of software have been drawn from ideas about the development of buildings.
Join us Tuesday, May 14th for a panel discussion with Guy Geier and Tim Milam of FXFOWLE, Alan Brake of The Architects’ Newspaper, and Project Projects principals Prem Krishnamurthy and Rob Giampietro, as they explore dimensions of interactivity in design, from analog to digital, and 2-D to 3-D, through a variety of examples drawing from FXFOWLE and Project Projects’ multidisciplinary practices. Case studies will include the newly-launched FXFOWLE.com, designed by Project Projects, along with interactive structures, exhibitions, public spaces, and related media.
Part of NYCxDesign, New York City’s inaugural citywide event to showcase and promote design of all disciplines, the discussion will take place at Project Projects’ studio at
161 Bowery, 2nd Floor, followed by a complimentary cocktail reception at The Randolph
at 343 Broome Street.
To RSVP, contact Emily Alli at ealli@fxfowle.com
We hope to see you there!
