ABOUT







Zilong Xu

Graphic designer in Winchester, UK, who was so impressed by the Winchester Cathedral that he made a font called Arch Type (2011) that reflects the gothic arches found in the cathedral. He writes about his Sino-Latin typeface Hakka (2011): Hakka ethnic group distributes around south China and other part of the world. They were the earliest Han settlers in China and affiliated with royal blood. However, globalization and cultural collectivism today are wiping out their individuality. Young generation of Hakka is about to forget their identity. The design is aim to arose people's attention by rebranding the group with typeface of traditional looks and New Hakka phonetic system. They will be widely used in publications.
