The Collective Type Project

01/Mar/2007 Filed in: Fonts

The objective of Collective Type is to build up a font made of different drawings that visitors create.

The font will consist of the usual 90 numbers and letters of the Roman alphabet, this detail excludes the special characters that some languages (Portuguese for example) use like “ç” and “~”.

Each character is made of 225 different drawings produced by the visitors, this means that after all those drawings the final aspect of a letter/number is achieved. Right now all the letters and numbers are completed (total of 20,749 drawings) and you can either check the whole gallery or a specific letter. For instance, the picture above represents the 225 drawings that make up the letter B: click the pic for more
