Hola hoy vimos el video de Helvetica en la clase de Diseño Tipográfico y estos son algunos de los comentarios que los alumnos hicieron via twitter con los siguientes hastags #UAM-C y #helvetica.
Helvetica Face is a Livetype format font. This new Helvetica family font changes the “typeface” based on the posting of a new “face”.
While normal fonts which are governed by software rules on how to show the internal form (=data), Helvetica Face doesn't have this internal information on the form. What is does have is external data given in the shape of a image of your face, and how to show that form is the only rule. For that reason, through the given data, the form continues to change without bounds.
Livetype is a new font format which takes a variety of data and can change the form of it in real time. Livetype font has an interior database and an interface for entering of new data. Data entered from this interface is accumulated in the database, and it is that accumulated data which changes the form of the typeface in realtime. The changes given to that font are reflected by the same family of fonts from around the world.About the Livetype
