The proliferation of speech recognition as input to Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) systems opens up new possibilities for the design of typographic forms. Designers can use the musical expressiveness of the speaking voice to shape letterforms in real time. Letters formed by speech are more representative of the emotional and contextualized person speaking than are fonts now. Prosodic Font is an object-oriented font that assumes a dynamic, temporal form. It emulates the tonal and rhythmic motion in the speaking voice. Preliminary user testing results show that people are able to identify Prosodic Fonts as representative of particular prosodic variations.
