Speech Bubbie

Type Design for yi xiao jian da

Speech Bubbie is the most commonly used graphic convention in comic book dialogue. Fonts suggest emotion in writing. Aware of the connection between these two graphic elements, the designer borrowed the form of a comic book to reformulate the structure of the alphabet and Chinese characters. Strokes are simplified to the generic form of bubbles, while still following the direction of the original strokes, thus preserving the readability of the characters.
