Typo de Sade

Reactive screen typography

This interactive application shows an initially static quote.

As you move the mouse cursor across the lines, they start to follow the cursor movement elastically. The tactile response gives you the sensation of skin.

If you hold down the mouse button during the movement, the characters react more sensitively, grow larger and change their colour. As you release the mouse button, they wander back to their origin but deviate slightly from their genuine size and position.

In this way an attractive picture of typographic mutation is created. As a result you find typographical scars that document the effects of the interaction.
