This ongoing project approaches typographic letterforms not merely as components of a writing system, but as symbolic bodies—each carrying its own sense of weight, posture, fragility, and tension.
A letter is imagined as a structure capable of expressing emotional architecture and bodily resonance.

Through character-driven narratives, the project explores the intuitive connections between typographic form and emotional gesture. A curve might embody memory, a diagonal could stand for resistance. Each letter becomes a metaphor for human limitations, desires, and identity.

While the stories adopt the lightness of children's tales, they quietly carry psychological and social subtexts that resonate with adult experiences. This duality allows the project to remain playful yet conceptually layered.

The process involves hand sketches, material experiments, voice recordings, and exploratory typographic drawings. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a unique typeface family in which each character embodies a specific inner world—turning typography into something not only readable, but also deeply felt.
