Mutational Typography in Security Printing

New digital digital letters are produced with the help of computer graphics. They set the basis for introducing mutational typography with emphasized use in designing documents and securities. This paper presents methods and commands for transforming letter shape that conventional graphic programs fail to provide. Deformation may be a stochastic one as well, but also a strictly defined one and subject to designer requirements. Mutation is achieved by transformation of texts through a program made in advance on basis of primitive postscript commands controlling memory stack addressing. This paper elaborates and explains the motivations for activating individualized mutant fonts as a routine in tool design. There is more interest in creating such typography if it is planned in advance to be used in the area of graphic product security. The same font used in producing one security document, but carried out in different transformations creates new designer solutions and contributes to greater protection in security printing.
