The Textris applet reflects the highest level of technical skill and visual refinement I have achieved in my Digital Typography work. Textris combines the use of a conventional typeface with a custom typeface, involves the user with interactive type through the medium of a game, and integrates the aesthetic and interactive experiences through a carefully designed interface. Textris is a networked textual communication client in addition to being a visual design piece and a game, bringing a collaborative aspect to the aesthetic experience and game play.
