TypeRoof is type tooling infrastructure. It provides type proofing
applications, initially based on Video Proof and Variable Type Tools.
Now it also explores the world of general animation with type as a
principal actor, and document creation with general typography in mind
and typographical automations based on expert knowledge.
TypeRoof is intended as a host for all kinds of type related tools,
providing advanced methods of resource loading (i.e. fonts, data files)
saving and restoring state etc. – features which ad-hoc developed tools
typically miss out, as they are hard to do right on limited time.
TypeRoof is Free/Libre Open Source Software and web based, build mainly
with vanilla JavaScript and a few specialized dependencies. We are looking
for a community of users and developers who are interested in shaping its future.
