Mar 30, 2026
Daniel Shiffman demonstrates how p5.js 2.0 evolves typography from flat text into fully extrudable 3D geometry. This update introduces native support for variable fonts and contour data, streamlining the creation of complex generative text effects directly in the script.
Key insight: The new "textToContours" function now provides an intrinsic "angle" property for every point, allowing secondary shapes to automatically align themselves to the curves of a font's path.
