"Deep-rooted in Chinese history and adapted widely in various Asian language systems, modern Han characters are principally pictograms and phonograms, or compounds of these units. While conventional typefaces as well as Chinese calligraphy are still extensively used in daily communication, young designers are committed to innovating these age-old logograms, combining bold graphics and merits of traditions to let them speak beyond the original words. Carrying excellent examples from China, Japan, Singapore and Korea among other possible locations, HANZI ? HANJA ? KANJI reviews the contemporary craft of Han characters in different cultures. The showcase will include a variety of published and experimental work, custom-made for branding and identity campaigns and editorial use.
