Platform

Typvs keeps type, vectors, and generated form as one structure. Named modules are not published yet.

Product demonstration

Structural study of a letterform A constructed roman letter with contour, on-curve nodes, and measure lines. Steps change which construction marks are visible.
A structural study of a letter: contour, nodes, and measures. Illustration of the subject, not a released tool.

What can be shown

Two claims have a visible subject. Anything that cannot be shown stays off this page.

Type as data

A letter is a contour with decisions in it: where a curve starts, where a stem holds, where a counter closes. Those decisions stay explicit.

Form from one description

Related shapes come from one representation. Weight, width, and contrast change the drawing without throwing away the structure underneath.

Description

One contour, three weights.

Example text. Not a live prompt.

Shown

Representation

Form, type, and vectors are the same problem at different scales. A contour is a sequence of decisions. A family is that sequence held while a few measures change. Generation, when it is used, has to leave those decisions readable.

Machine learning and creative tooling sit on that representation. They are not separate product names on this site.

For developers

A contour can be written down. The sample shows one possible description, not a published endpoint. Read the documentation ↗ for the study, its concepts, and illustrative data.

Example. Not a contract. Protocol and paths are not published.
