Typography Design from Replicate DNA Typeface

Abstract

            The research on typeface design through genetic replication aims to synthesize the indicators of traditional typeface replication and to design identity-based typefaces derived from traditional typeface replication. This study focuses on replicating typefaces with unique identities for commercial or corporate branding, using them for information dissemination and creating a unified image.

            The scope of the research defines the population and sample groups as derived from photographs or printed materials featuring traditional typefaces. The content scope involves the creative design of identity-based typefaces and electronic fonts, focusing on basic types (Regular). The research aims to synthesize identity indicators of the typefaces, categorizing them into photographs and printed materials. The scope of identity graphic design principles includes knowledge and skills in identity graphic design, the process of synthesizing identity indicators for typeface design, the development of prototype typefaces, and the evaluation of prototype typefaces reflecting university identity. The font design involves the creation of digital typefaces and quality assessment by relevant stakeholders. The identity-based typeface is derived from traditional typefaces.

            In conclusion, the replication of ancient typefaces encompasses multiple dimensions, including the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, historical studies, archaeological research, and understanding the evolution of language and writing systems. Typeface replication allows designers to create an overview of history across various periods and gain a deeper understanding of the associated cultural and social contexts. Replicating typefaces from ancient scripts is a crucial and challenging process that requires both academic knowledge and modern technology.
