This language experiment introduces codice.X, a newly developed open-source font, designed by in8 iD, the in-house designer of Calamari Foundry. The font’s creation process involved a bootsrapped approach in which the author reportedly channeled ambient space noise from the dark side of the moon via a crystallized transistor diode implanted in their right ear (which is defective, deaf to normal human frequencies and riddled with tinnitus), allowing cosmic interference to influence the visual typographic structure. Using codice.X itself as a neuroplastic medium, in8 id documents the recursive process of its development while outlining broader design practices for upcoming Calamari Archive titles. This post explores the intersection of language, surveillance, signal processing, and posthuman generative aesthetics, offering new insights into algorithmic typography (using visual consecution), auditory-driven design, and perceived alien interference in textual composition.
