PostSpectacular realized the Print magazine August 2008 cover by designing and digitally fabricating a typographic sculpture using generative form giving. With this work they also indicated the changing scope of ‘print’. The process is part of the artwork and therefore documented as making-of on http://postspectacular.com/process/20080702_printmagcover

Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokland (LettError) built the Typeface Beowolf as their first ‘RandomFont’.
They apply random functions to the letterforms when printing. Thus you get an individual shape for each letter. Computer fonts are rather dynamic programs than static forms. The two designers admit that the random aesthetic here is not that appealing, but the project was “proof that fonts were no longer physical objects but instructions.” (Interviews 1: Print, p.170, Processing. A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists, 2007 MIT)

The project wall ‘I’m afraid I must refuse’ (2005, Kunsthalle Wien) contains of 47 sentences refusing a request. The very graphic - almost typographic - appearing installation on the picture below is made with painted wood.
