Oops Typeface Poster

我因为在阿迪达斯总部的工作而搬到了德国小镇。文化冲击导致我当时我去得最多的地方是镇上唯一的一家漫画店。我以前的生活根本不看漫画，但漫画强烈的视觉语言让那家店成为那个小镇上为数不多的我觉得可以交流的地方之一。漫画里经常用字体来帮助主角表达情绪。所以我在想，如果字体足够占主导地位，然后把漫画的其他元素挤出空间，让自己成为主角会怎么样？漫画字体？不是带有漫画风格的字体，而是字体本身就是漫画人物。那么每个字母怎么会有不一样的个性呢？然后我将主要字母与它们自己的视觉场景配对，并制作成一个文件夹zine和视觉海报。
I was addicted to buying comics for a while, not because of the story of the comics, (I never read comics) but because I love collecting the fonts in the comics. Fonts are often used in comics to help the main characters express their emotions. So I was thinking, what if the font is dominant enough and then pushes other elements of the comic out of space and makes itself the main character? A comic font? Not a font with a comic style, but the font as a comic character itself. Then how would each letter have a different personality?
