大中華區最具代表性的文化為「正體中文字」，我們依此文化設計出兩組字型，分別命名「發光體」與「透明體」，設計方向以台灣人的熱情和坦率為主軸，並且不單只是美術字也是電腦能使用的字型檔。 我們更希望「造字」不局限於任何對象，而設計出副產品「組字印章」，概念融入了永字八法，使用此組印章，即可蓋出所有中文字，這樣的互動能激發使用者的創意，且造字風格會隨著不同的使用者而有不同的個性，希望透過此行為能提升使用者對正體中文字的興趣，以便達成茁壯中華文化之目的。 為何選擇「印章」？印章在中華歷史裡擁有三千多年的發展，而現代印章從正式檔至趣味性用品都包括在內，與文字更是息息相關，則選擇「印章」為造字方式。
The most symbolic culture of the Greater China region is the “traditional Chinese characters”. We design these two fonts based on this culture; “Fa-Guang” and “Tou-Ming”. The concept of the design is based on the friendliness and candidness. They are not only art displays but also useful fonts in the computer. We hope that “word creation” is not confined to anyone, so we designed the by-products, “movable-type stamps”. The concept of the “movable-type stamps” came from the 8 basic strokes of the character “永 (yong)”. With this stamp set, one can print out all the Chinese characters. This kind of interaction can inspire the users creativity. The style of word creation varies from one user to another, depending on the users’ personalities. We hope to draw attention to the beauty of traditional Chinese characters and to promote Chinese culture. Why stamps? Stamps appeared more than 3000 years ago in the Chinese history. On the other hand, modern stamps are closely related to words and can be used to signing official papers or as art objects. Therefore, we choose stamps as the means to create words.
