FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Calvin Kwok Type designer from Hong Kong who graduated from the MATD program in Type Design at the University of Reading in 2016. His graduation typeface is Havil, a multiscript (Latin, Arabic and Chinese) typeface family for branding and business documents. This beautifully balanced typeface was inspired by 19th century British and French letterpress poster typefaces. In 2016, Kwok worked with the Apple Inc. Type Team where he contributed to the design and development of Latin and East Asian scripts. In 2019, he joined Sharp Type specializing in multilingual type design, lettering, and typography. In 2018, he published the slab serif Urushi at Future Fonts and wrote: Urushi is the first Future Fonts release aiming to support Japanese Kana and Kanji, and Chinese Hanzi. This charming and slabby, reverse contrast is inspired by old Hong Kong movie magazines. His all caps titling typeface Mosses Serif (2018) was designed for the bookstore Mosses. Still in 2018, he was working on the Japanese typeface Tottori.
