Zhuanbian 篆變
Project Zhuanbian explores the possibilities to create new Hanzi (Chinese characters). The project consists of three parts. The research of Hanzi revolution and etymology, new Hanzi forms developed with the six writing system and a piece of typeface design based on the seal script. The new Hanzi forms are about Chinese neologisms, especially in science and technology fields. The typeface design intends to give seal script, an ancient script a modern, slim look in order to fit contemporary design.

个人项目篆變探索了汉字创新的可能性。项目由三个部分组成。首先是对汉字发展历史和字源的研究。其次是以有关新兴科技的汉语新词创造了一系列新的字形。最后在上述基础上基于小篆设计了一套字体。在字体设计上试图让小篆这一古老的字体焕发出新的风貌以契合当代的设计精神。
