Designed a unique typeface and specimen book based on a Chinese character, Empress Dowager Cixi. The typeface combined Chinese calligraphy with Latin alphabets, which presents the integration from two cultures.

︎︎︎ Empress Dowager Cixi was a Chinese noblewoman, and she effectively controlled the Chinese government in the late Qing dynasty for 50 years.

︎︎︎ The Chinese character (永) is often used to illustrate the eight basic strokes of Chinese characters. Based on the modulars, I designed my own typeface.
