Great work from Synoptic Office.
The physical form of language is a record of collective memory.
In this monotype typeface, the height of the letterforms is determined by how often a letter is used. This typeface maps the rhythmic ebb and flow of English.
Each letter sits in a 6 x 6 inch square, allowing for any combination of letters to run seamlessly both vertically and horizontally.

This is pretty interesting… Computer generated text, using a digitized manuscript font. The results are great and very beliveable:
FONTSELF is a type project about handwriting and drawn writing.
It provides the ability to create fonts that preserves the gestures of a given handwriting and the original look of the drawing appliance (ball-point pen, pencil, ink, paper, etc.).
FONTSELF proposes intuitive tools to create and edit bitmap font (scanned letters) as well as solutions to use them and exchange them.
You can even render a live news feed.
