Task 3: Type Exploration and Application

---

Ideation

I refer to the special symbols and fonts in Genshin Impact for design. There are many mysterious characters and symbols in the game

Digitalization

At first, I redesigned it according to his style. Make it more mysterious

fig 2 - Primary alphabet  12/11/2022

Fault method is used. Make it look superior

Option 2

But it is too complicated. I simplify and optimize it （Uppercase）

The initial lower case is different from upper case. I also modified it

fig 4 - Reset letter Lowercase 4 23/11/2022

FURTHER READINGS

If you are a font or graphic design enthusiast (rather than just wanting to know how to use fonts), this book is definitely worth reading. If you want to be a professional designer, it may be a little shallow, but it is also very helpful to clarify the context, and the citations in the book and the literature at the end of the book are very useful reference materials.
