「 字源於生活,以身體為起點,從日常與感知出發,透過觀察與想像,形成具有意象與情感的字形。 」
《字身》嘗試從日常中可被觀察的形態出發,將身體動作轉化為字形結構,發展出一套兼具柔軟與力量感的字型設計。
創作過程中選擇瑜伽姿勢為主視覺,挑選三十個取材自自然意象的姿勢,觀察其延展、平衡與支撐結構,並轉譯為直線、折角與彎曲筆畫,使字體呈現柔中帶剛的視覺特質。
色彩規劃以粉色象徵肉體,藍色代表水,綠色象徵森林,強調身體與自然的連結。透過字型設計與書籍呈現,本研究建立文字與生活形態之間的關聯,使字體成為觀察生活與延伸想像的入口。
文字長久以來都是人類重要的溝通媒介,從象形符號到數位打字,皆承載著紀錄與傳遞的功能。隨著數位工具的普及,文字並未被取代,反而更頻繁地出現在日常生活之中。然而,生成與閱讀文字的方式,從提筆書寫逐漸轉為鍵盤輸入與螢幕瀏覽,改變了人與字形之間的接觸經驗。
文字本源於生活,也融入生活,但在習以為常的使用過程中,其形態逐漸退居背景。本專題因此嘗試重新思考:若從生活形態出發,是否能透過設計的方式,讓文字再次成為被觀察與被想像的存在?
“Characters originate from life.” Starting from the body, this project transforms everyday observations into expressive letterforms.
CORPUS translates yoga-based bodily movements into typographic structures, creating a typeface that balances softness and strength. Forms of extension, balance, and support are reinterpreted into lines, angles, and curves.
Pink represents the body, blue water, and green the forest, emphasizing the connection between body and nature. Through type and book design, the project links typography with daily life.
In the digital age, text is widely used but often overlooked. This project brings letterforms back into focus, inviting new ways of seeing and imagining.
