A teaching tool designed to help users learn to look at fonts, by messing one up.
The Bad Type Tool was conceived as a teaching tool, which encourages students to quickly create a really bad font. I determined the fastest way to make a bad font and learn from it, was to start with a good font and royally mess it up. Students can see how small changes interrupt the color of a paragraph of type, while being playful and experimental with letterforms.
This project was done as part of a Generative Type workshop, led by the Space Type Continuum.
