In his hometown,signs written in traditional Chinese characters can be found around every corner.One calligraphy style,above all,has come to represent Hong Kong for Chan:Beiwei Kaishu,which has its origins in 4th century China.After World War Ⅱ,Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs,partly because it is highly recognizable,even from far distances. But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated (计算机合成的) typefaces,signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong.As a result,few designers working today are aware of the Beiwei Kaishu style. In 2016,Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style.He then started the process of digitizing the characters.He first writes the characters on paper with a brush and ink.Next,he makes a pencil sketch.Finally,he recreates the characters digitally,using a computer program called Glyphs. One of the main challenges when digitizing the ancient calligraphy is striking a balance between the artistic expression and the need of design,says Chan.He can complete two characters a day,depending on their complexity (复杂性),and is aiming to digitize 6,000 characters. Chan says his project is more than preserving a centuries-old writing style and that he sees himself as building on the work of previous generations.He has named his typeface Beiwei Zansyu and hopes it will eventually be installed on phones and computers.
