More About Text of Cycle Font Design

Text of Cycle is a typeface design that explores the relationship between people and artificial intelligence. The concept proposes that people created artificial intelligence, and that artificial intelligence may in turn create people, making words the link between both. The letterforms follow a method of deconstruction, combining shapes taken from science fiction films and modern machinery. Each character was modelled in Rhinoceros 7 and rendered in KeyShot 8. The result reflects the cycle of language and knowledge.

About Junheng Li

He is concentrating on the relationship between art and design. Though at different levels in the world of human life, technology and art are integrated into the product creation activities as components of design activities. Art is essentially the physical and mental activities of humans. Design activity has been accompanying the human's history, but it hasn’t become an outstanding issue until the Industrial Revolution.

Award Record

With this recognition, Junheng Li is a winner of 3 A' Design Awards. The awards were granted in the 2019 - 2020 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.
