Member qua… Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform This is just a display face, http://www.fonts.com/font/dynacomware/df-shi-yi-simplified-chinese/gb-w-7 not the serious attempt to develop a new paradigm for Chinese characters that I remember seeing somewhere from Adobe, but it's the first one I've encountered in this category after losing that one even so.

Member old… Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have no idea what it means, but I absolutely love it. The letterforms are delightfully playful: it makes me want to learn Mandarin… Link to comment
Member Jon… Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 "New" is relative. I think this sort of display style has been around for decades now. I can't speak for the Chinese characters, but a similar approach to the Korean alphabet looks quite dated (70s?). Link to comment
Member old… Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Second line, fifth character from the left: that is ONE HAPPY GUY, whatever the hell the ideogram means. IMHO... Anyone know the Chinese, Japanees and Korean characters for "I love fonts"? Link to comment
Member ahy… Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 By the one happy guy did you mean "算"? Well, it means "compute, calculate". In Chinese(Traditional), "I love font" is "我愛字體". Link to comment
Member ahy… Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Oh, and in case you wonder what "Shi Yi" means: it's 饰(decoration) and 艺(art). Well, I don't know what they exactly mean when put together, but you get the idea... Link to comment
