Go-Kart
A modular, component-based typeface developed as a sandbox for exploring generative workflows in digital type design. Built from a limited set of base components — a circle, square, and triangle — the project foregrounds repetition, substitution, and constraint as core design strategies. The typeface was developed in parallel with a suite of custom scripts for Glyphs (see Glyphs Scripts). These tools enable variations to be generated through rule-based processes rather than manual redrawing, producing families of parametrically related forms that retain a shared underlying structure.
→ Base Character Set
← The demonstration shows two uses: first, a single base component altered through successive axis adjustments; and second, a series of Stylistic Sets in which the entire character set had components uniquely affected. → The demonstration two uses: first, a single base component transformed through various swap rules; and second, a series of Stylistic Sets in which the entire character set is uniquely swapped.
← The demonstration shows the base construction of the modular Go-Kart font transformed at a component level through progressive and random “nudges.”
