The Type Bird Series
Typography & Creative Coding — 2026

Glyph Birds is a browser-based typographic flock simulator that turns punctuation marks into living creatures. Every comma, slash, bracket, and period becomes a bird in flight — governed by real flocking algorithms with controls for density, drift, speed, and follow behavior. The tool lets you shape every dimension of the output: glyph weight and size, solid or gradient backgrounds with noise textures, radial or linear color fields, and full canvas sizing for any format. Built as a creative coding experiment at the intersection of type design and generative art, Glyph Birds treats typography not as static form but as something animated, organic, and unpredictable.

A type installation at MassArt, set in artificial turf on a garden bed. Pixelated letterforms meet organic material — the digital and the natural sharing a single form.
