adhesiontext is a dynamic text tool created by Miguel Sousa.
It generates a dummy text paragraph with the set of characters submitted by the user.
Everyone. adhesiontext is free.
To provide texts with a limited set of characters in several pseudo-languages. These can be particularly useful for typeface designers and font developers, especially during early work stages.
adhesiontext is Unicode® compliant. Please make sure your browser, software application and operating system is fully Unicode aware, otherwise the results may be erroneous.
A function collects all the words from the database that match the set of characters, and groups them according to length. It then builds the text block by copying random elements from these groups. Optionally, basic punctuation can be added, and the first word of each sentence can be capitalised.
Yes. This project is a work in progress. Any suggestions and feedback can be sent to Miguel Sousa.
adhesion is the initial set of characters used in the Master of Arts in Typeface Design programme at the University of Reading (UK), which inspired the development of this text tool.
