AITYDE is born out of a research framework exploring the interplay between Typography–Design–AI. It serves both as a journal and as a dynamic platform to foster collaboration and innovation.

⚫ Generative Models ⚫ Prompt Engineering ⚫ Machine Learning ⚫ Neural Networks

⚫ Type Systems ⚫ Variable Fonts ⚫ Lettering ⚫ Legibility

⚫ Interaction Design ⚫ Visual Systems ⚫ Prototyping ⚫ Creative Coding

Three fields. One question: what happens when they converge? AITYDE explores the space where artificial intelligence meets the craft of typography and the logic of design — asking not just what AI can do, but what it means for how we create, communicate, and think visually. As AI becomes an increasingly active presence in the creative process, the boundaries between tool, collaborator, and author begin to blur. AITYDE documents this shift — through research, experimentation, and dialogue with designers and educators — building a growing body of knowledge at the frontier of a discipline in transformation.

AI-Workshops

Bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and design practice, AITYDE runs hands-on workshops for design professionals and students. Participants learn how to incorporate AI tools into their creative workflows — from prompt-based image generation to machine learning-driven typography — gaining practical skills to work with AI as a design material, not just a tool.

Experiments

AITYDE is a living laboratory. Ongoing experiments investigate how AI models respond to design thinking — testing generative systems, body-tracking interfaces, neural network visualisations, and real-time interaction. Each experiment pushes the boundary of what design authorship means in an age of machine collaboration.

Use Cases

From brand identity to interaction design, AITYDE translates research into real-world applications. Use cases explore how AI can enhance design decision-making, automate repetitive tasks, and open up entirely new aesthetic possibilities — documented and shared as open references for the design community.

User Tests

To ground the research in practice, AITYDE conducts structured interviews and usability tests with design professionals. These sessions reveal how designers actually relate to AI — their workflows, frustrations, and opportunities — feeding directly back into the research and shaping future workshop formats.
