By Gianpaolo Tucci

Creativity and innovation are no longer exclusively the province of humans, but the result of collaboration, a game of interpretation in the dialogue between humans and machines. This is the world in which we live today, where artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and new scenarios are opened.

If AI technology is revolutionizing the fields of art, design, communication, and marketing, how is it impacting typography? In this era of co-creation, typography as communication technology has yet to be at the center of the scene in this evolution. This makes the field ripe for experimentation.

Designer Gianpaolo Tucci's research locates aesthetic imperfection as a value of uniqueness. The world is facing a new era of typographical artifacts, and typography has the potential to embrace new possible expressions. Synergies between three pillars—time, nature and evolution—delimit foundations, but the implications of this communication evolution go far beyond the typography.

Aesthetics Imperfections is not simply a book on typography, but rather a volume of writing that expresses a point of view while also being a practical guide and an investigation into how the integration and ethical use of artificial intelligence will play a fundamental role in modeling this future.

AI and typography—a dialogue between humans & nature!
