Destructive Typography
Playing with bitmap fonts.
I started this project because I wanted to watch letters slowly degrade, and bitmap fonts seemed like an obvious choice. I started by mapping each letter to a function that would display it’s pixel version. But once I got going with creating words and sentences and adding simple kerning, I realized I was actually creating a rudimentary text editor.
The website came along as a way to allow anyone to join in and destroy a few words of their own. A series of variables allow users to control the rate, distance, and size of the destruction.
