Dynamik_Typewriter//

Under the project name Dynamik, we delved into the realm of typography in motion. Our efforts culminated in the development of a unique font that prioritized legibility at higher speeds, featuring varying weight levels to accommodate different rates. As part of this project, we also built a typewriter using Javascript, wherein the font weight dynamically adjusted to become bolder as the keys were pressed with greater speed.

We built a speed type machine to convey our message for our typeface’s most important function and structure. Based on how fast you type, the weight of the text is formatted for better readability in speed. This experiment was part of our degree exhibition at the Stockholm City Museum 2019.
