The "EMOTXT" project aims to improve electronic communication by addressing the loss of emotional expression in messages due to the absence of non verbal cues. In face-to-face situations, we can easily express our emotions or feelings with facial expressions, voice, gestures, etc. However, current-day electronic communication lacks nonverbal signals to convey emotional information, even if it supports a fast and efficient way of communication, unfortunately, much vitality was lost during this process.

I want to bring emotions back into our digital landscape. This motivates me to develop a generative typeface that capable of reading and communicating human emotions by using machine learning algorithm to recognize facial expressions and adjust the shape of the letters accordingly. User's facial expression values would control either the size change, the color, and the shape of the letters.


Overall, 'EMOTXT' revitalizes digital communication by bringing emotions back into our text. By investigating the emotional function of the typeface, we have this great opportunity to think about how we can use machines to create more humanistic and sensual works. And most importantly, how we can turn those devices that have separated us into tools that bring us back together.
