Text Invader: A Graphic Interference on Linguistics

Text Invader explores the possibilities of OpenType programming. The workshop intends to use Fontlab's OpenType panel as a creative medium to generate typefaces that modify the intended use of common typographic behaviors. It aims to experiment with the possibilities that are provided by the OpenType format to create the unexpected rather than the established conventions of typesetting. In other words, to interfere with the conventions that serve for linguistic flow.
