About Speech Bubbie Typeface

Ang Speech Bubbie ay isang typeface na dinisenyo para sa mga letrang Latin at mga karakter na Tsino. Ang speech bubble ay isang graphic convention na ginagamit sa dayalogo ng comic book, at ang anyo ng mga letra ay nagpapahiwatig din ng emosyon sa pagsulat. Ang koneksyon sa pagitan ng dalawang elementong grapiko na ito ay humantong sa isang bagong istruktura para sa mga letra at karakter na nakabatay sa anyo ng comic book. Ang mga stroke ay pinasimple sa mga pangkalahatang hugis ng speech bubble, habang sinusunod pa rin ang direksyon ng orihinal na mga stroke, kaya't napapanatili ang readability. Ang typeface ay unang iginuhit nang de-kamay at pagkatapos ay ginawa gamit ang vector software.

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.
