PersonaType: Living Type Specimens

[project descrip­tion:]
For my Sum­mer Under­grad­u­ate Research Expe­ri­ence, my men­tor, Amy Papaelias and I under­took the cre­ation of a web app. Per­son­aType was born with the idea in mind to show how a per­son­al­ity of a type­face can be uti­lized to rep­re­sent voice and how the con­text can shift type­face per­son­al­ity at the sametime.

By using Web­type (through Type­Kit), CSS3 ani­ma­tion and a respon­sive design I con­structed the web design and ani­ma­tions to com­plete the project.

UPDATE (8.6.2012): A heav­ily revised ver­sion of Per­son­aType was pre­sented at Typecon2012 by Amy Papaelias. Check it out!
