Alphabet Synthesis Machine Examples Software Artwork by Golan Levin with Jonathan Feinberg and Cassidy Curtis

The Alphabet Synthesis Machine is an online artwork which allows visitors to create and evolve personalized "nonsense alphabets"—coherent sets of abstract forms which might resemble the plausible writing systems of imaginary civilizations or unfamiliar societies. The following alphabets were created by visitors to the site during a two-month period, and represent a selection from the nearly 300 writing systems produced during this time. The thumbnails below link to the corresponding TrueType fonts generated by the Alphabet Synthesis Machine.
