Convo
When is a letter a letter? Is AI able to understand when a letter is readable for individuals? It is these two questions that guided our project Convo and led us to take on a conversational approach bringing in ChatGPT as a means to explore letter forms.
The process was iterative and began with asking ChatGPT to give us textual descriptions of latin alphabet letters both in uppercase and lowercase. We took these and used them as human prompts, asking colleagues and friends to draw from the instructions generated by the AI. These drawings then became the basis for our final typeface design.
