Typography is a powerful element in generative art, allowing you to blend language and form in expressive ways. In P5.js, you can use the text() function to display text on the canvas at any position. The textFont() function lets you select which font to use for your text, while textSize() controls the size. By combining these with transformations such as rotate(), and by varying position, color, or even the content, you can create dynamic, visually rich compositions where words and letters become integral parts of the artwork. Experimenting with different typefaces, adjusting their properties, and layering text elements can result in abstract visuals or reinforce a conceptual message. Generative typography often involves randomness or algorithmic placement, so each run produces a unique arrangement of text that blurs the line between language and visual design.
