Alphabets are more than a tool for writing, they weave together our shared stories and understanding, serve as a system of verbal communication in a language, guiding us through the world for generations. Toys quietly preserve fragments of our personal histories and archiving our past experiences.
This type design project transforms my collection of objects into a material archive. Utilizing the playful objects, such as beads, branded toys and figurines, photographed their shapes from different angles and reconstructed them into 26 alphabet type design. By combining these shapes in unexpected ways, inventing a new visual language system to break the rules of readability playfully, questioning what it means to read. The type design captures the shapes of the collectible objects and transform them into different abstract letterforms, using objects as a digital collage material to create new ways of playing.
字母不僅是書寫的工具；它們編織我們共享的故事與理解，作為語言中的溝通系統，引領我們理解這個世界。玩具也悄然保存著我們個人蹴史的片段，為過往經驗留下紀錄。
這項字體設計的計劃將我的物件收藏轉化為物料壕ﾄ庫，運用富有玩味的物件，例如珠子、品牌玩具與人形模型，從不同角度拍攝其形狀，並將它們重新建構為由 26 個字母組成的字體設計。透過以出人意表的方式結合這些形狀，發明一套新的視覺系統，玩味地打破語言視覺體系中的可讀性規則，並質疑「閱仿孩童心態——不受規則拘束、以探索為核心的遊戲，也建構出一種集體的想像：過去的材料如何以無形的方式與我們的內在小孩連結。
