HYS Design [Han-Yi Shaw]

Redmond, WA-based type designer whose Chinese typeface Qingyu Lishu won an award in the TDC Typeface Design competition in 2017. Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022 for these two Chinese / Japanese typefaces:

• Shinbakusai Reisho: A modern revival typeface that is rooted in the imperial collection of enamelled porcelain (yousai in Japanese, yangcai in Chinese) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) of China. In contrast to calligraphic clerical scripts (reisho in Japanese, lishu in Chinese) found in the imperial collection, this typeface harmoniously blends yet juxtaposes soften-curves and sharpened-tips in key designated stokes. The distinguishing aesthetic attributes have also been further applied to Japanese hiragana and katakana for usage in Japan.
• Qing Mocai Lishu: A modern revival typeface that finds its roots in the imperial collection of enamelled porcelain (yangcai) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) of China. In contrast to calligraphic clerical scripts (lishu) found in the imperial collection, this typeface harmoniously blends yet juxtaposes soften-curves and sharpened-tips in key designated stokes.
