A while ago Lee Brimelow, Adobe's chief product designer, gave us a quick one preview of one of Adobe's upcoming projects, codenamed Faces, which in theory will allow users to create and design their own fonts.
For many years, the art of typography has been limited to a few who have been willing to spend time and effort learning mathematical techniques, tricky programs, and combining them all with modern software such as Adobe Illustrator or FONTLAB Studio.
The project Faces Adobe aims to simplify all of these and thereby enable each user to design their own fonts. For how easy it can be, just watch the video below and see that everything is adjusted with some horizontal bars.
The technology behind Project Faces has been stepped on Adobe's efforts at 1998 when it bought a small Windows 98 application that called it Ares Font Chameleon and which, just like Project Faces, allowed users to, to some extent, change the properties of a fonts with a few control buttons.
At present, Project Face has not been released outside of Adobe's offices, but as shown by the video, the app is working seamlessly on iOS.
