Vernacular’s Artificial Typography uses AI to boldly blend together type and the history of art

Good friends, collaborators and designers Andrea A. Trabucco-Campos and Martín Azambuja have united to form Vernacular, a small publishing firm with a primary focus on form, typography and culture. Their first publication, Artificial Typography, places itself at the intersection of art history, typography and artificial intelligence, combining the past and the future in a work that sees typographic forms portrayed in the style of 52 celebrated and iconic artists. To learn more about the insights and discoveries of implementing AI, alongside the project’s development, we had a chat with Andrea and Martín. PT: Hello Andrea and Martín! How are you? V: Good thanks! This rainy Sunday afternoon is treating us well, as we’re recovering from Martín’s birthday celebration at the Caribbean Social Club.
