ABOUT

China Type Designs Ltd. [Ricky Chun]

Foundry based in Hong Kong, est. 1986. In September 2006, Monotype Imaging acquired China Type Design Limited. At that time, Ricky Chun was China Type's managing director. Monotype writes: China Type has been a long-time partner of Monotype Imaging, which previously held 20 percent ownership of the firm. Over a 20-year period, the companies have collaborated on a wide range of Asian font projects, with recent work involving typefaces for Hewlett-Packard XHTML-based inkjet printers shipping in Japan and China, and East Asian fonts for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. [...] A recent collaboration involved the design and development of the Microsoft JhengHei typeface, a Traditional Chinese, OpenType-based typeface family, optimized with Microsoft's ClearType subpixel rendering technology for use in the Vista operating system. [...] China Type and Monotype Imaging have also recently completed work on a patent-pending technology involved in the ability to display scalable Simplified Chinese characters at small sizes (down to 14 pixels per em) with exceptional clarity on cell phones. The technology is available with the iType 3.0 font engine, the newest version of Monotype Imagings font rasterizer that enables the rapid display of scalable characters on memory-constrained devices. [...] As part of the China Type acquisition, Monotype Imaging has secured an exclusive relationship with Creative Calligraphy Center (CCC), a font production company in Zhuhai, China, with 30 production specialists. Ricky Chun began his career at China Type in 1992 as a developer of PostScript-compatible font programs and in-house production tools. Since then, Chun has held positions in sales, marketing, technical support and product development. Chun has worked with Monotype Imaging on various type production and development projects. Chun earned a masters degree in Australia.
