HistoFace, Stewdio‘s histogram typeface, received mention on the Adobe blogs today via John Nack in a post titled Slick typographic apps: Hidden Messages & More. HistoFace is a form of steganography, the art of hiding messages within another medium. The medium in this case is a digital image and the vehicle for revealing the message is the Photoshop Levels tool. Don’t rely on it for security, however, as HistoFace makes for horribly weak cryptography. Its purpose was more process driven: How does one craft a unique set of letterforms that handle the impossibly tight constraints of histogram imagery? Visit HistoFace at http://stewdio.org/histoface.
