Angel Kwong Angel's Chinese name is Tsz Yan Kwong. Graduate of the MATD program at the University of Reading, class of 2019, who lives in Hong Kong. Winner of an award at the Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2019 for Chek Lap Sans, which won an award at the Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2019. Chek Lap sans was developed at the School of Design of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Angel wrote: Chek Lap Sans is a Traditional Chinese typeface designed specifically for signage of the Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok, aiming for both functionality and personality. The typeface is designed with considerations of legibility under negative polarity display, to suit the need of the current blue light-box signs with white text. It has generous negative spaces within character, optical adjustments to compensate the glowing effect, and subtle features that contribute to its visual identity. It also includes relevant icons with references to the local context. Several design decisions were informed by the findings from user tests. Her graduation typeface at the University of Reading was Tabloid (2019), which was designed for reading online material on screens. There are five styles covering three scripts (Latin, Traditional Chinese, Arabic).
