The Alphabet Synthesis Machine is an aid to explorers of the liminal territory between familiarity and chaos. An interactive Java applet, the Machine invites you to evolve the letterforms of a personalized "alien alphabet": the possible writing system of your own imaginary civilization.this is really freaking cool. i'm sure y'all can figure a decent use for this somewhere in yer various systems
The Machine runs best on a Windows PC in IE5+. Macintosh users are strongly encouraged to download the latest MRJ from Apple. The machine can generate PC-formatted TrueType fonts of your alphabets
my only complaint is that in designing the initial seed glyph you only get one shot. Each time you click the seed glyph window it starts from scratch.
