Prompt Engineering for Typography
A study in turning a visual reference into a reusable AI prompt system.
For this project, I analyzed how typography can construct an entire human portrait—not simply overlay text on an image. I structured the prompt so hundreds of words and letters form the facial features, hair, neck, and silhouette while maintaining the same monochrome editorial aesthetic.
The key was creating one controlled variable section that allows the person, expression, and themed vocabulary to change while preserving the core visual language.
One prompt. Multiple characters. Consistent style.

This collages keep alive that era exactly as I remember it: the all nighters that blurred into the next morning's class, the first typeface I picked apart just to understand why it worked, my first real typographic composition, the friends who shared this with me and the illustrations I was too nervous to show anyone at the time.
None of it was good yet. But every decision I make now traces back to those lovely moments which I now treasure 🥹
What's the first project that made you realize this was it for you?
For me it was an early identity project where I ended up hand drawing every icon because nothing off the shelf fit the brand. The set was rough, but watching someone navigate the work using marks I had invented was the first time design felt less like decoration and more like a...
An abstract system resolving into the Framer mark.
The resolve effect makes it feel like the mark is assembling itself in real time, satisfying to watch loop. Is this meant to live as a loading or intro moment on the actual site, or was it made purely as a standalone piece?
