Numerical Compositions explores the intersection of type design, creative coding, and machine drawing. Built around a custom, single-stroke variable font, the system uses minimalist geometric shapes—lines, circles, and polygons—to construct numerical forms. Using an AxiDraw pen plotter and acrylic paint markers on black paper, the project translates digital mutability into tactile, generative drawings.

Numerical Compositions was selected for STA 100 in 2019 by the Society of Typographic Arts institute. View the project entry: here.
