The changing face of Hong Kong typography
Share - WeChat
Most people go about their day without giving a second thought to the ubiquitous signboards that are a part of Hong Kong's architecture. Many readers consume the city's vast quantities of newspapers and books without appreciating the skill that went into designing a particular typeface.
Hong Kong Typographical Expression is the latest cultural exhibition mounted by Nan Fung Development. The atrium of TKO Plaza has been transformed into a gallery subdivided into six categories displaying familiar public typography. There is also a workshop area set up for interactive demonstrations and public participation in techniques such as stenciling.
