While some argue that type should be designed with functionality in mind over aesthetic, rethinking typography as a less restrictive visual medium is incredibly important in learning, and hence reinventing, the way we conceptualise and use typography. The revival of experiemental typefaces is a great example.
TypoGraph is a collecion of 3 typefaces that were designed with functionality and innovation in mind. Readability is carefully aligned with aesthetics. Originally conceptualised for use as postcard and envelope graphics, they were all made with certain themes in mind and were heavily inspired by contemporary Japanese design and cultural values.
Although none of them are avaliable as usable fonts at the moment, there are plans to develop them as such in the near future.
砂礫タイプ
Sareki Type
Sareki means pebbles or stones in Japanese. They are essential to the Japanese culture as a conduit of zen (禅), nature, and benevolent strength. Large stones were sometimes used for worship, and gravel was preferred for designating sacred grounds.
The non-uniform shapes of the stones by the ocean also echo the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (侘寂), which is the philosophy of accepting imprefection and transience. The ephemeral contours of stones eroded by the ever-changing sea is a perfect representation of this.
Cancer Typeface
癌書体
Cancer is the most common cause of death for Japanese people who are 40 and over.
At any moment, any cell can become cancerous. As the human lifespan increases, this will become even more commonplace.

We are always busy with our lives and devote ourselves to unreasonable work. But do you have time to think for yourself?
