Abstract
Before the digital age, the main tools used for printing out letters were pen and brush. Therefore, forms and styles of the languages modelled out during the age also revolved around the pen and brush. However, new tools and techniques introduced in the digital age to express typography put this limit in the shade. In other words, the user can make expressive and experimental typography and typefaces quickly and easily, by learning and utilizing new tools efficiently. As such, this study is to explore those cases, to understand characters and meanings of expressive and experimental typography within the context of typography history, to introduce a new tool, 'Scriptographer' developed by means of the open-source scripting plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, and to discuss the advantages, disadvantages and applicability of this tool. Further on, through case analysis of successful preceding projects, the researcher arranges a practical foundation, and estimates the practicality of this research through experimental typography series, Rush Type and Celestial Type, created by using Scriptographer.
