FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Juerg Lehni Jürg Lehni (b. 1978) participated in the various design activities of the Transport off-space in Luzern, such as the creation of the Lego Font and Play, which were released through Lineto in 1999 (Lego was done with Urs Lehni and Rafael Koch). About the Lego font, he writes: I was not involved in the creation of the font itself. I wrote the lego font creator as a sort of a interactive font specimen for the lineto site. Later, the tool grew to a real little application with eps vector output. After studying interaction design at Hyperwerk Basel (1999-2001), Jürg graduated from ECAL (Lausanne) in 2002. His thesis project was a vector drawing machine running on ihis Scriptographer, which was also released as a free plug-in for Adobe Illustrator. In another project, Vectorama, he also combines graphic design with programming. With Cornel Windlin, Jürg set up the new Lineto website in 2003/2004. A second vector drawing machine, Viktor (2006), operates with chalk on blackboards. In 2011, Jürg launched an extension of Scriptographer, called Paperjs.org with interaction designer Jonathan Puckey. He was an Arts Council Visiting Professor at UCLA (2012-2013) and an Associate Professor at Parsons in New York (2016-2017). Returning to Switzerland in 2017, he contributed to the design and oversaw coding for the new Lineto website (2019).
