“Rotten grass becomes fireflies” 腐草為螢 (くされた くさ ほたる と なる) is the 26th micro season in Japan, occurring right now, from June 11th to 15th. I’ve been working on typesetting these micro seasons on a chromatic calendar, using the Hiragana, Katakana (+limited Kanji) and Latin alphabet of my typeface Louvette Pixel. It’s very satisfying to see the color shift throughout the seasons #72MicroseasonsJapan #LouvettePixel #TypefaceDesign #Typography #TypographicCalendar #microseasons #Japanese #nihongo #日本語 #タイポグラフィ #フォント #デザイン #katakana #hiragana #kanji #font #typeface #design

I was invited to design a “koi nobori” (carp streamer) to be displayed at Tokyo Midtown this year for Children’s Day. This koinobori uses my yet to be released typeface Louvette Pixel set hiragana, katakana, kanji, and the latin script. The design is focused on specificity of time and place. Particularly Japan’s 19th microseason in early May and it’s seasonal flower (藤 wisteria), fish (金目鯛 kinmedai ), vegetable(人参 carrot), and event (端午の節句Children’s Day). It will be on display here in Tokyo Midtown not far from the amazing 21_21 Design Sight museum #koinobori #childrensDay #typography #japan #tokyoMidtown #2121DesignSight #LouvettePixel #CJType ##multiscriptTypography #typefaceDesign #typeface #design #fonts
