Tangible Type
This is an experimental and interactive set of type components that enables users to bring physical gestures into the whole letter set. Each component was found by breaking and tweaking the typeface Avenir into seven essential letter parts: Stroke, Diagonal, Counter, U shape, Shoulder, Terminal, and Spine. Utilizing bidirectional flex sensors and silicone controllers, the project explores the boundary between the physical and digital space, which enables more intuitive typographic interaction.
