The Design

About Hanzi and Alphabet Typdesign

Detta är en uppsättning typdesign som representerar kombinationen av två olika kulturer Hanzi och Alphabet. Typdesignen kombinerar Hanzi-karaktärstreck och engelska bokstäver. Varje bokstav designades med skräddarsydda former från en eller flera delar av Hanzi-drag. Designen skapades genom att använda samtida visuella språk tillsammans med ljusa färger.
