Algorithm of Growth: Typography for Mathematics and Biology Exibiton by Student Julia Kiselyova

The exhibition “Algorithm of Growth” explores the captivating interplay between mathematics and biology through the concept of Lindenmayer systems (L-systems). Originally developed to simulate plant growth, L-systems unveil the inherent order and beauty of natural processes, offering a framework to understand the patterns and structures that shape our world. This exhibition invites viewers to delve into how mathematical principles inform biological phenomena, inspiring innovative perspectives on growth and evolution. For this project, a custom typeface was designed to reflect the growth and branching behavior of L-systems. This dynamic font visually embodies the exhibition’s theme, with each letter expanding organically to mirror the natural forms it represents. Acting as both a functional
