Ming Romantic: Collected and Bound folds together reproductions of historical documents with contemporary texts to examine how Chinese typography can evolve through the use of digital tools and manipulation of form. Additionally, the book illustrates the design process of Ming Romantic, a display face reinterpreting a style of printed type originating in China’s Song and Ming dynasties. The typeface is one of the first didone-inspired Chinese typefaces that re-imagines how the character set could look when divorced from the effects of the brush.
