Invited by François Chastanet for a scripting workshop at the EBAT in Toulouse.
The workshop started in Drawbot and with a steep learning curve it ended with 1000+ generated UFO‘s, binary fonts, image’s and pdf’s in RoboFont and related extensions.
Students had already some fonts drawn based on Modèles de Lettres pou peintres en bâtiment: fantaisie et prespective, dessinés et composés by Etienne-Anatole Ducompex.
With lots of shadows and bright colors in mind, the workshop was built around converting and applying shadows on existing shapes. However, some built their own parametric font system based on their chosen revival from Ducompex.
