The inspiration for the 26 capital English letters font comes from Taihu stones. It takes the natural form of Taihu stones as the basis for font creation, better preserving the beauty of "wrinkles, leaks, thinness and transparency". Stone gives birth to all things. Combining form and imagery, it is both a Western interpretation of the Eastern stone appreciation culture and a poetic interpretation of natural creations.

  • Book Design - Alphabet Book The 26 capital letters were flattened and compiled into a book. The first letters were corresponding to words related to Taihu stone and formed into sentences to convey the design concept more systematically.
