The vague motivation about simple is that it would be somewhat pixel-based. The idea was conceived in the beginning of 2010. The drawings came in around april during my convalesce. Richard Dawkins's Selfish Gene played a big role in moulding my thoughts of the typeface as a game of successful replicators that propagate itself into various forms of surviving vehicles.

The process of simple began with the usual alphabets followed by a series of icons and soon it was an avalanche of chinese characters. The pool of proposed chinese characters were loosely determined by the needs of a lunar calendar.

In a nutshell, simple is a single-weight, minimal, grid-based san-serif display. Prudent with details and sturdy in form, the geometrically-driven structure marks the foundation of a cross-cultural assortment of latin alphabets, chinese characters and thematic icons. After months of extensive typesetting, simple is also realized to be well-catered for use in graphical information design in games and tournaments, logotypes, advertisements and headlines.
