The Design

About Cloud Mountain Type Diseño tipográfico

Cloud Mountain Type es una tipografía inspirada en las montañas de nubes y niebla de Zhangjiajie y en la pintura paisajística tradicional china. Las formas de las letras combinan la imaginería china tradicional de nubes y montañas con la estructura del alfabeto latino. Cada carácter se dibuja a mano y después se refina con software de tratamiento digital de imágenes, y la tipografía puede utilizarse en tamaños variables. Vista muy de cerca, los detalles cobran protagonismo y la letra se vuelve difícil de reconocer, del mismo modo que la forma de una montaña no puede apreciarse desde su cumbre.
