ABOUT THE FONT-BOT PROJECT
When I came up with the Font-Bot Project I was searching for something that I could do, a personal project that would inspire me. So I started brainstorming and what I decided was that I am very much interested in working with type, and I am also a huge fan of robots. So the idea was to build robots out of type faces and to showcase them and hope that other designers would want to show theirs off as well. As I let the idea simmer a bit, I thought to myself, what good are robots if they aren’t battleing other robots. That is where the idea was born. Not only could designers submit their creations, they could pit them against other designers.
Jonathon Yule created a font-bot in 2005 that was featured on the cover of a book called New Illustration with Type by Martin Dawber, although I had no knowledge of his work when I created this site I thought it would be respectful to link to his page. See his work here
I have not been able to post a submission in a long time, but I am leaving the beautiful work that everyone has done up as an archive of great font robots. Thanks to everyone who participated over the years and all the support you gave the site

‘Nelope should totally win this~ Cute and psychotic? Ahaa, reminds me of someone~ ^_^
This was a tough one but the chick totally wins. It was the dripping commas that finally did it for me
The crazy ax-weilding bot somehpow reminds me of the girl who was going after Haymitch with an ax when they were the last two in the 2nd Quarter Quell (if you don’t know what i’m talking about you have no life…its in Catching Fire) but anyway I’ll vote for the Hunger Games any time!!!!!!!
