Glyph hydrography

LivingPath is a tool designed to make typographic forms more fluid and constantly evolving. Rather than drawing new shapes, it generates alternatives that allow the characters to adapt to new contexts. In this sense, choosing open-source input typefaces is essential, not only from a legal point of view, but also because their freedom was intended from the beginning. In that way typographic shapes act like a stream following their own path without restrictions.

Algorithmic stream

The software works with algorithmic layers that modify the vector paths of glyphs. You can import in any typographic file (OTF, TTF). There are a dozen different algorithms, all of which can be parameterized simply by using sliders. These layers are organized in groups. All these modifications are applied in real-time to the vectors of a glyph of your choice. They can then be visualized on texts in a langage of your choice. As LivingPath can work with any alphabet, you can select one from over a hundred languages.

Font flood

When a font is exported, each glyph is modified and replaced in the original file. The result is an OTF file with the same level of quality as the original (ligatures, kernings, etc.) It's up to you to install it on your computer and let it flood your work...
