關於 Arch-able 字型

Arch-able係一套專為數碼製造而設計嘅模板字型。呢套字型支援Arch-able平台,該平台負責存檔同分發建築師設計嘅數碼資料。字符集包括26個字母、10個數字同26個符號。所有角度都經過圓角處理,令鑽頭、激光切割機同其他工具都可以順利到達同貼合每一個角落。好多模板字型都有直角設計,呢種角度係無法雕刻嘅。Arch-able打破咗呢個限制,幫助初學者用常見工具就能夠製作出立體字。

獨特屬性: ARCH-ABLE is a platform to archive and distribute digital data of architects’ designs. Anyone can download and reproduce architects’ designs as long as they are following the creative commons license.
This typeface is digital fabrication friendly because it has stencil style shapes and all corners are rounded for all drill bits, laser cutter, and other tools.
It makes all users comfortable to reproduce their products easier.
尺寸同包裝: 26 letters, 10 numbers, and 26 symbols
標籤: Typeface, Typography, DigitalFabrication, GeometricDesign, Simple, Idea,GraphicDesign, Future, Friendly, Japan
生產技術: People had a problem about making 3D typography because it must have stencil style. And some stencil typefaces couldn’t engrave all corners even inside or outside because they have right angle corners.
So ARCH-ABLE typeface solved all issues for making 3D typography because it has stencil style shapes and all corners are rounded especially for all drill bits.
設計挑戰: This typeface structure has very strict rules. It was really hard to make all the characters. It should be all rounded, 45 degrees, geometric, 4x6, stencil style, and stylish. So we have to make it conceptual but keep it beautiful typeface as well. It was a very important thing.
研究: One day I had a chat with one of my friend who is an architect in Japan. He told me that Almost times I couldn’t engrave the corners of typefaces because they have right angle corners. That was the starting point.
We started to search so many stencil style typefaces all over the world through internet. Then we figured out we have to make all rounded corners typeface for all digital fabrication creators.
靈感: Nowadays Digital fabrication DIY culture is a boom in Japan. Almost users can use digital fabrication tools but they can’t make original stencil typeface for it. This typeface is digital fabrication friendly and beginner-friendly as well.
項目時長: This project term was from November 2018 to January 2020 in Tokyo, JAPAN.
操作流程: People had a problem about making 3D typography because it must have stencil style. And some stencil typefaces couldn’t engrave all corners even inside or outside because they have right angle corners.
So this typeface is digital fabrication friendly because it has stencil style shapes and all corners are rounded for all drill bits, laser cutter and other tools. It means all drill bit can reach and fit all rounded corners.
It makes all users comfortable to make their products easier.
