Bit Tripper by Counterpoint and YACHT is an interactive tool for exploring generative typography powered by deep neural networks.
This tool allows you to explore a vast space of letterforms generated using GAN models trained by Counterpoint using a dataset of bitmap fonts, and to generate a complete OpenType font that can be used like any regular font file. Hybridizing the functional minimalism of bitmap fonts with the effectively infinite possibilities of latent space is our way of pulling past and future together into a deeply weird present moment.
Bit Tripper was made to accompany the release of YACHT’s upcoming album, Chain Tripping, which was composed with the help of machine learning systems and collaborators around the world.
