LAIKA: Interactive typography from Switzerland

Posted on October 21st, 2009 by steve


LAIKA from Michael Flückiger on Vimeo

Traditional fonts are static. For their bachelor thesis, Michael Flückiger and Nicholas Kunz created a dynamic typeface called LAIKA.

LAIKA isn’t static. Style, weight, size, kerning and other properties can be adjusted on the fly using a control panel, as seen in the video. LAIKA can also respond to outside stimuli, such as people.

To test drive/interact with LAIKA, go here.
