Ji Lee's Suggu ("Mix" in Korean) is a new alphabet mixing Hangul(Korean Alphabet) and Roman Alphabet. Because they are both Phonetic Alphabets—a writing system based on a set of symbols representing different sounds—mixing the two is possible and easy. Combine Roman Alphabet's consonants (B, C, D, F, G...) with Hangul's vowels (, , , ...). That's Suggu. Project by Ji Lee, Sue Park / Font Design by Yi Kyung A

I think this design project is very interesting because it integrates two languages, korean alphabet and english alphabet and make it into an useful existing typography that is communicative. This inspired me for my New Cliche's project. This project combined two kind of existing culture. I think languages has its own culture values. 


The digital age has transformed the ways in which we communicate with each other. The combination of technology and power of information brings new ways on HOW, WITH WHOM and WHY we communicate. We are connected with more people than ever before. Do more options to communicate with each other connect us or alienate us more?
This project is really explicit in terms of the changes and how transformation of communication between people in modern society. even though it does not have to do with cultures merging and possessing multiple cultures, this design is funny and smart idea. I enjoy design with series that can be combined and projects a main concept.

WENS
All typefaces for Latin alphabet are designed to be used for the conventional left-to-right reading direction. WENS was designed for reading and writing in four directions.












All-In-One Card Stamp
Why buy many cards for different occasions if you can have an "One Card for All Occasions Stamp"? It saves time, money and headache.
Univers Revolved
To form the letters of Univers Revolved, a simple geometric formula was applied to the capital letters of the widely used Univers font. With the help of a 3-D computer program, each letter was revolved 360° around a vertical axis drawn at its left-most point.
Unlike the letters of our standard alphabet, those of Univers Revolved are bilaterally symmetrical and may therefore be read in both left-to-right and right-to-left directions. And because they are three-dimensional, they can be stacked, arranged in circles, or set in motion; they can become toys, pieces of furniture, buildings, or chocolate candies.
