Title: The Computer-Based Generation of Fonts in the Style of Kandinsky.
Authors: Zhang, Kang1 kzhang@utdallas.edu, Yu, Jinhui2 jhyu@cad.zju.edu.cn

Subjects: Computer fonts, Kandinsky, Wassily, 1866-1944, Fonts & typefaces, Computer input-output equipment, Computer systems, Artistic creation
Abstract: This article presents a general framework for programmed automatic generation of artistic fonts. By parameterizing various font attributes, such as color and aspect ratio, the authors are able to generate artistically styled fonts in almost unlimited variations to suit any type of design requirement. The authors demonstrate their experiments on generating fonts in an abstract style similar to Kandinsky's, built on a collection of the artist's styled patterns. The approach generates fonts composed of vector strokes and is thus highly scalable, limited only by the computer hardware. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
