Latent Type
AI tools for image generation and manipulation are developing very fast. Yet, their utility for designing typography remains limited.
‘Latent Type’ explores different ways of working with Text-to-Image models – as one of the most recent additions to said tools.
The book analyzes available settings, inputs and finetuning options,
both with the aim of creating experimental letter shapes as well as letters for
developing fonts.
It moreover explores the role of
human and artificial intelligence in a shared design process, emerging questions
and challenges, and the responsibilities that subsequently come with using these
tools.
