Roman Wilhelm
Born in 1976 in Germany, Roman Wilhelm graduated in 2004 with a diploma related to a German-Chinese book project. He studied visual communication at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle (Saale) in Germany and type design at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig under Fred Smeijers. He briefly taught type design at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. He specializes in multilingual typography, which includes Chinese and Korean, and he taught in Seoul, Hong Kong and Shenyang. He is primarily a web, book and magazine designer, but in 2009, he did create Sung New Roman, a typeface for Latin-Chinese typography, for which he received the award Ars Lipsiensis in 2009. In 2013, he designed a wonderful hand-drawn Chinese typeface, Laowai Song. It has over 28,000 Chinese ideographs, supported by a perfectly matched hand-drawn roman. Currently, he is a doctoral candidate at the Braunschweig University of Art, and is a member of the Multilingual Typography Research Group at the Geneva University of Art and Design. Speaker at ATypI 2012 in Hong Kong on multicultural typography. |
