fontsive?

Generates latin text using provided glyphs. Whether they are lowercase, UPPERCASE or punctuation or a combination of the two.

  • ENTER ALL CAPS to see ALL CAPS GENERATED TEXT
  • all lowercase glyphs will yield all lowercase generated text.
  • Enter some punc,tu.ation! to see it inserted into the generated text.

  • Credits: I thought of creating fontsive while taking a Type to Fonts class from Sara Soskolne at the School of Visual Arts in downtown Manhattan. She taught a lot of important skills to us as students and we enjoyed working together with other skilled typophiles. Unfortunately there wasn't a tool that I liked to help generate text in ALL CAPS or lower-case or Mixed-case dummy text. Devin Eden and I worked together to develop fontsive. I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to see 'fontsive' set in your font creation.
