The Webby Awards ‘Typevoice’
To celebrate The Webby’s People's Voice 20th anniversary, we created Typevoice, the world’s first font shop that allowed anyone to create their own font using their voice. Scream, shout or sing and Typevoice generates a customized font based on your unique sound wave. We created an algorithm that measured pitch, volume and time, allowing each letter to react in real time. People could share GIFs and even download their unique font.
The following are examples of unique fonts generated by people's voices.
Over 10,000 unique fonts were generated in the week leading up to the launch of The Webby Awards People's Voice Awards 2016.
Below are examples of typographic art that was created from the a selection of the generative typography that was downloaded from Typevoice.
