This is an interactive typeface I created using fiducials. This was part of a workshop, where I had to create the font, make it interactive, and then design posters to represent my work, in association with an important font (I chose Futura). Then I printed some t-shirts, and the wearable Pi-Font became interactive. The name of the created font is Lillidot and it has been inspired by the Braille alphabet. I thought it was a curious combination: the braille font, which isn’t made for the eyes to read it but for touching it with fingers, and the interactive fiducials, which are also “illegible� if there is no decoding software and webcam.
