The object of the research is based on the thesis, that with the help of destruction of any principles and rules it is possible to create something new. The topic of this work is divided in two parts: creation of a book about the visualisation study and the diploma project itself. For both parts two different fields of research have been chosen. The book about visualisation study is dedicated to the layout structure of playing fields, while the diploma project is about the experiment on the creation of a new font, with the changed principles of its development. In the experiment of creation of the font, different parameters of the structure have been studied, with the question if the parameters are changed, can then the font be destroyed? In this case, it is of big relevance to study where this margin is, that shows the point from which the text stops being readable. Eight main fonts have been created, whereas all of them are basic fonts. These fonts are completely "raw" basic fonts without any elements of decoration. Further, an interactive program has been created for the usage with a computer, which consists of the mentioned fonts and parameters of the change of fonts — line spacing, font tilt, narrow or wide. A group of people the opportunity has been give to choose one of the 8 basic fonts and conduct experimentations with the help of parameters. After the conducted experiment following results became visible: it is of importance to mention that even with changed parameters the font did not lose its characteristic of readability, it was not destroyed and was still a proper font, it still has its characteristics of a font. Out of one single basic font, destroying its characteristics, it is possible to receive a high number of new outlines of fonts as a result. To sum up, only with experiments it is possible to confirm the thesis. As result of the diploma project,  the interactive program has been created, with which a new font can be created.
