Letters in a computer imitate human warmth and emotion—but it’s only an imitation, not the real thing. How, then, can we breathe life and feeling into these characters?

Glyphlos offers one answer: it grows new glyphs like plants, using special characters as seeds. These characters are more than structural marks—they carry tone, the emotional flow within writing. In visible language, they embody emotion, and through the Glyphlos method, they give rise to letters with feeling.

This suggests a new possibility: typefaces, when grown rather than constructed, can become living organisms capable of expressing emotion like humans do. Shown here is
Erik Spiekermann’s FF Meta, transformed through the Glyphlos process. This method
can be applied to other typefaces as well, generating an infinite variety
of new typographic lifeforms.
