Abstract

Abstract: This research project has as its main objective the creation of a complete calligraphy dossier that focuses on three specific Gothic styles: Texture, the Rotunda and the Fraktur. The goal is to integrate these styles into the FontSelf platform to generate a typography accessible to the general public, enriching both the media digital as manuals with new calligraphic forms. Unlike the creation automation common in contemporary software, the project proposes a manual approach that encourages new perspectives in visual creation. The project begins with a detailed analysis of the formal characteristics of calligraphy Gothic, seeking to establish a link between its historical heritage and the opportunities current technologies. The fusion of traditional and contemporary methods aims to confer to the new calligraphic forms a depth and authenticity that captures the essence of the gothic calligraphy. At the same time, space is opened for creative exploration, expanding the possibilities of typographic design in the digital and manual spheres. The initiative represents a unique connection between history and innovation, with the central purpose of expanding the limits of typographic design.
