The Design

About Speech Bubbie Tipografía

Speech Bubbie es una tipografía diseñada para letras latinas y caracteres chinos. El bocadillo de diálogo es una convención gráfica utilizada en los diálogos de los cómics, y las formas de las letras también sugieren emoción en la escritura. La conexión entre estos dos elementos gráficos dio lugar a una nueva estructura para letras y caracteres basada en el lenguaje del cómic. Los trazos se simplifican en formas genéricas de bocadillos, sin dejar de seguir la dirección de los trazos originales, de modo que se preserva la legibilidad. La tipografía se dibujó primero a mano y luego se produjo con software vectorial.

Unique Properties: Inspiration comes from: the text box on the text message on the mobile phone is a dialog box graphic, at the same time, on our social chat software, dialogue voice or text, there are dialog box graphics, and the dialogue on the comics we see is also composed of dialog box graphics of. In this way, the dialog graphics are combined with the font strokes
Dimensions & Packaging: Variable size
Tags: Graphic text, Chinese character font design, dialog font
Production Technology: Adobe Illustrator/ hand drawn draft
Design Challenge: To integrate figurative graphics into font strokes, first of all, we must achieve recognition, and second, we must convey the conceptual graphics to be designed.
Research: Speech Bubbie is a graphic convention used most commonly in manga books during dialogues. Similarly,fonts connote emotions in writing.Realising the connection between these two graphic elements,designers borrowed the form from comic books to reformulate the structure of alphabets and Chinese characters. Strokes are simplified into generic forms of speech bubbles while still following the direction of the original strokes,therefore retaining the readability of the character.
