W05 / 01Dimensional Typography

The Experimental Laboratory

Five original studies in form, matter and code. Nothing here is decoration: each one is a working instrument you can touch.

Study 01. Letters from the constructed alphabet, extruded and lit. Drag to turn them, scroll to pull them apart, and change what they are made of.

W05 / 02Fluid Compositions

Study 02. Fluid compositions

Domain-warped noise, layered three times, behaves like ink in water. Move through it and your path is written into a trail that the colour and the type both follow.

W05 / 03Generative Art

Study 03. A flow field of simplex noise draws thousands of lines. Each line knows whether it was born inside a letter of the constructed alphabet, so the type emerges from the field instead of being placed on top of it. Every seed is a new poster, and every poster can be saved.

Study 04. One form, four skins. The surface is displaced by noise in a shader and its normals are rebuilt on the fly. Hover to pull it toward you, press to send a ripple across it, drag to turn it.

A fake environment, computed from the reflection vector, makes the surface read as polished metal without loading a single image.

W05 / 05Visual Experiments

Study 05. Two small machines that turn images back into type. One sculpts with characters, the other prints with dots.

ASCII sculpture

A torus rendered with light, depth and nothing but characters, the way terminals drew 3D before they had pixels to spare. Drag it to spin.
