Coalition Alphabet Collider
Type a word. The alphabet swarms, moving only at 0, 45 and 90 degrees, then collides into your word.
The thinking
from the planningA custom alphabet built from straight runs and 45 degree diagonals. The piece moves the letters the same way they are drawn: every path is one diagonal and one straight run, so the motion and the type belong to one system.
- Motion follows the letterformsLetters only ever travel at 0, 45 and 90 degrees, matching the angles in the glyphs.
- Overlaps darkenLetters multiply where they cross on light backgrounds and screen on dark ones, so collisions read like overprinted ink.
- Spare letters leaveLetters not in your word fly off the page before the word slides into order.
