读《道德经》所尝试的字体探索实验

#创作灵感来源#
《道德经》是中国古代伟大思想家、哲学家、道家学派创始人老子的著作,最近配合解释重读了一部分,虽只是一知半解,但不得不感叹这部名著的博大精深,哪怕是很少的只言片语,其中也蕴藏着奥妙深刻的道理,每重读领悟一次就会有不同的收获。“万物负阴而抱阳”,即道的存在产生阴阳二气,阴阳二气的运行形成世间万事万物,阴阳对立与统一是万物的本质体现。
#字体设计#
字体设计的创作灵感主要来源于太极图,其图形完全是由正圆曲线所构成的,所以在字体设计上我也沿用这个理念,所有字体笔画也都是由正圆曲线包括完整圆、四分之一圆、四分之二圆、四分之三圆所组成,其中还参照了一些中国古代篆书的写法。整体的字体设计风格,想给人一种轻松、自然、随性的气质,但在这种印象的背后,其是由完美的正圆曲线所构成的,即想表达的是万事万物看似的自然随意状态,实则是背后都是有一套规律和准则在左右着一切。

#Source of inspiration#
Tao Te Ching is the work of Lao Tzu, a great thinker, philosopher and founder of Taoism in ancient China. Recently, I have re read some of it with the help of interpretation. Although it is only a little understood, I have to sigh at the breadth and depth of this famous work. Even if it is only a few words, it also contains profound truth. Every time I re read it, I will get different results. "All things are negative to Yin and embrace Yang", that is, the existence of Tao generates Yin and Yang, and the operation of Yin and Yang forms everything in the world. The opposition and unity of Yin and Yang are the essence of everything.
#Font design#
The inspiration of font design mainly comes from the Tai Chi Diagram, whose figure is completely composed of a circle curve, so I also follow this concept in font design. All font strokes are also composed of a circle curve, including a complete circle, a quarter circle, two quarters circle, and three quarters circle, which also refers to the writing methods of some ancient Chinese seal characters. The overall font design style is intended to give people a relaxed, natural and casual temperament, but behind this impression, it is composed of perfect circular curves, that is, it wants to express the seemingly natural and random state of everything, but in fact, there is a set of laws and guidelines behind everything.
