ABSTRACT:
A process and system for generating an aesthetically altered character design with the aid of a computer includes the steps of providing the computer with coordinates defining a wide fixed reference character shape, providing the computer with corresponding coordinates defining a narrow fixed reference character shape, providing the computer with a desired degree of alteration to be made to the character shape in relation to one of the reference character shapes, and calculating in the computer coordinates of an aesthetically alterable character shape. Each of the calculated coordinates for the aesthetically altered shape is generated by interpolating in an amount equal to the desired degree between corresponding coordinates to the wide fixed and narrow fixed reference character shapes. When the desired degree of alteration is outside corresponding coordinates of the wide fixed and narrow fixed reference character shape, the calculated coordinates are generated by extrapolating between the corresponding coordinates of the wide fixed and narrow fixed reference character shapes.
