Typefaces Created Entirely With Computer Codes

Graphic artist and interactive visual designer Yeohyun Ahn has created a collection of typefaces for the digital age—using only computer codes.

Using mathematical expressions and algorithms, ‘TYPE+CODE II’ represents a completely new form of typography that does not follow the centuries-old traditions of the typographic world.

Each a tiny piece of software, the letters in the collection are characterized by the highly structured, complex yet mesmerizing patterns that one would expect of computer-generated products.

According to the artist, not all of the typefaces are presented in full alphabetical sets as they “were created by using computer codes, which means [she] can easily switch any letter from A to Z through just typing in [her] computer codes”.
