#TypeRoof

TypeRoof is type tooling infrastructure and a web-application. It provides type proofing applications for parametric variable fonts – called “Layouts” – initially based on Video Proof and Variable Type Tools. Now, it also explores the world of general animation with type as a principal actor and document creation with semi-automated type-setting based on “Runions” – a portmanteau of “Run of Text” and “Onion”.

Lasse Fister of Strong Type Systems is the principal architect and developer of TypeRoof, partnering with David Berlow of Font Bureau in order to make the vision of parametric typography a reality.
