ABOUT

Yu Li Liu [Willie Liu]

Yu Li (Willie) Liu is a type designer at 3type in Shanghai. Holding a bachelor degree in Urban & Rural Planning, he is currently enrolled in the Media & Communication Design Program in TJDI (Tongji University College of Design and Innovation, China). He is the creator of Dinkie Bitmap, an experimental multi-script typeface that tests the legibility of Hanzi in extreme conditions.

Designer of Dinkie Bitmap (2018-2020), a pixel typeface for Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic and Chinese.

Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022 (with Xiaoyu Liu) for Hanyi YihexianJing. He writes: This typeface was not made by auto-tracing. On the contrary, designers extracted the features of about 100 characters from Qianlong's original calligraphy work. Then the team designed the rest of the 9000 characters. Qianlong's calligraphy was inspired by Wang Xizhi (303AD---361AD), one of China's greatest calligraphers.
