Inspired by a line made by waving a flashlight back and forth, I wanted to use Open Frameworks to see if I could make a font that relies on motion.
I came up with the design for "Light Array" motion font, which uses traveling circles to create lines and letterforms. To facilitate the “drawing” process, I developed a 5x7 grid system and used a two-digit coordinate-mapping system for each circle’s movement. So “12”, referred to row 1, column 2 and “17” refers to row 1, column 7. This allowed me to have the relatively simple notation for each line of “colMovement(12, 17).”
