Many have attempted to reinvent Latin based languages to remove the gender constraints that have emerged in each of them throughout time. Neutrum.otf exploit the innocence of Machine learning to reduce to its minimum human biases and generate a set of genderless glyphs. This new font aims to bring attention to gender definition and free minds from its oppression.
Neutrom.oft is a digital font that can be installed and used on any computer, through which users can employ new symbols as alternative stylistic sets to those currently in use. Nowadays, more and more exponential use is made of glyphs in written text to avoid gender definition, such as ' _ * @ 蓹 x. The purpose of this project is not to revolutionize existing symbols or replace them in their use, but rather to bring attention to this problem and invite reflection.
Due to the innocence of automatic learning, this project aims at the minimal reduction of human biases for the creation of genderless glyphs as an alternative to those already in use. In this process, it is, of course, impossible to completely nullify the human factor, which remains necessary both in the selection of glyphs for the construction of the dataset and in the choice of the best result among those produced by training the algorithm.
