Androgynous Type Study
The project was inspired by the idea of androgynous,
“What is most beautiful in virile men is something
feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women
is something masculine.”
With the willingness of applying it into type, I started
in Chinese characters and English alphabet with
explorations on square shape and round shape that
simply represent the two genders.
