custom alphabet font selector / mutation letter construction

font template warming…

No system-font fallback. Direct and lego both use the current harvested alphabet; every generated image rebuilds it from the newest shapes. Evolving, throwup and wildstyle mutate the original template and the current finished shapes, then compare soft/hard, faded/dotted, convex/concave, aligned and overlapping edges. Fine hard line groups can still count as a soft gradient when their spacing supports it. Named fonts also carry structural constraints: stem count, counter treatment, curve vocabulary, serif, baseline and orientation.

novelty search depth — 10 candidates

Each candidate is rendered small, reduced to a signature, and scored on distance from everything in the archive. The most distant one wins. 1 disables the search.

self-critic warming up · novelty keeps the studio foreign.

Print exports at 4500 × 5400 px (front-print size), logo at 2400 × 2400. Thumbnails are the runners-up from the search — click one to inspect it instead. The self-critic balances foreign novelty against clutter, breathing room, and contrast. VARY runs a fresh search; PERTURB nudges the render you have. The archive is shared across every visitor, so the field keeps drifting away from what anyone has made — connecting…

the abstractor — harvest & alphabet

Every render is blobs of colour. Harvest a silhouette, inspect its abstract letter axioms, then use whole-form matches for one-symbol letters or part-role matches for Lego construction.
