“For almost all of our designs we’re driven by an interest in how typefaces can be produced and used. Favorit Lining, for example, we came up with when a project needed an Italic but the deadline did not allow us to design one in time. Underlining felt like a valid alternative and this led us to realise that you can...
“Our latest design, PF Marlet, started out by trying to visualize a serif typeface with simpler letterforms, something like a hybrid between a sans and a serif, blending simultaneously traces of fashion and nostalgia. Inspiration came from the roaring ’20s and ’30s, decades that embraced women’s independence both socially and politically. Taking intricate hints from the era, a contemporary dynamic...
This design uses red brick, furnace stone, and sodium silicate material after the removal of the surrounding wall by C-LAB to proposed a landscape installation. The wall material is transformed from barrier to an enclosing space component.

“My Donut Worry piece was originally based on wanting to create a set of positivity stickers or badges to share on Instagram and GIPHY.

“For the creation of my last typeface (Bigilla) and for most of the fonts I design, I draw a lot of inspiration from the world of luxury and fashion. I like everything that has to do with elegance and I try to show it in my creations, especially with ligatures.”...
“A typeface needs to be designed as a system with logical relationships between the elements that make it distinct from lettering. However, this does not mean that everything has to look the same. What can be interesting and exciting is consistency within inconsistencies, without becoming random ‘creativity’. When judging the quality of a font, it is important to look out...
Taiwan Power Company — D/S ONE is created by transforming the acronym of “Distribution Substation” to the concepts of “Design” and “Sustainability”. During the construction, public participation was also applied in creating a cross-field platform that incorporates education, technology, art and the humanities....
What constitutes a good typeface design? “A major consideration for me is consistency. A well-designed typeface will have consistent design characteristics throughout the entire character set, which includes numerals, punctuation, and some symbols. This includes cap and x-heights, the overhangs of curved characters such as the o, n, and e, character width, stroke width, size of the ascenders and descenders,...
The interior avoids unneeded ornaments; whereas, exterior was renovated by cement and cladded with perforated metals, building up translucent contrast between solid and see-through material. The perforated facade brings more daylighting and creates blurry yet inviting shadow from outer surrounding, eliminating visual barricades among vertical stores.
