Font Flow: Typographic Experimentation in the Age of AI

Farmingdale State College Memorial Gallery is proud to present a special two-part interactive exhibition, Font Flow: Typographic Experimentation in the Age of AI and Typography for Reading: Human Ingenuity in the Age of AI.

As photography reshaped the meaning of painting in the late 19th century, artificial intelligence is now redefining the landscape of graphic design. Font Flow: Typographic Experimentation in the Age of AI explores the evolving relationship between human creativity and machine-generated design through the material language of typography.

While AI continues to shape the future of typography, one vital area of ongoing research is the design of fonts and typesetting systems that support better reading performance. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), two out of five U.S. schoolchildren are not proficient readers—a status that often persists into adulthood. Typography for Reading: Human Ingenuity in the Age of AI showcases design interventions at multiple scales: from typefaces that support handwriting development to paragraph-level typesetting that enhances reading comprehension. The range of approaches on display show that, despite advances in AI, human creativity remains a powerful force in shaping how we read.
