Hi, it is my first post, so if I chose the wrong
category, sorry.
Anyway, recently I get my design degree and with it the insecure of what
pursuit. I had work experience in web development, UX and frontend development
and typography classes that I made a really bad font, part because of my “newbieness”
and little time to actually make the font. This past made me really like things
that are visual and with coded interactions, and in my little world, I never
had even imagined that fonts could be awesome for that, until a few day ago
when watching a talk the gay told about dynamic fonts, that shrinks at the end edge
of the page or even self-censorships. Pretty impressive to me, so this turns
into an exhausting search for a font demo and some tutorials but I fail. Hope
that you know something about it.
Thanks
for all the help, and sorry my bag English, is my second language and hadn't
mastered it yet.

The talk you saw might have been Erik van Blokland at Typographics. He showed examples of responsive lettering, not type, but the principles could be used in fonts as well.
Maybe what you're thinking about was Adobe's Multiple Master or Apple's GX format? We're currently trying to figure out responsive fonts at the moment. Possibly some of the work from the MIT Media Lab?
In addition to Erik Van Blokland's work, there's also some newer articles on the subject (http://alistapart.com/blog/post/variable-fonts-for-responsive-design, http://alistapart.com/article/live-font-interpolation-on-the-web and http://kupferschrift.de/cms/2012/05/responsive-typography/).

I think that's possible ... this is the talk
https://youtu.be/0EDGH0m8wWc?t=39m21s but it is in Portuguese and unfortunately
has no subtitles.
Amazing work on MIT. Tanks
Hey guys I found one of the examples: (http://projectseen.com/). So now I understand the principle, but at the same time the second example seems a bit more complex to be made only in the font archive, ‘cos font size and orientation should change with an extern factor that is window size.
