The design transforms handwritten strokes into playful graphics, encapsulating the dynamics of writing, complemented by custom typefaces that amplify the concept. The Kanji characters draw inspiration from the letterforms found on old pencil packaging. The Latin typefaces are modified versions of the open-source Fragment Mono, incorporating handwritten symbols and letterforms optimized for small print on pencils. The packaging, crafted from gray cardboard and assembled with Cornervery right-angle staples, forms a rough yet refined aesthetic. Available from Chi Ming Publishing.

A sequel to the Editor’s High-end Pencil, only that all the type and graphics are rounded. Available from Chi Ming Publishing.

TASA Typeface Collection consists of TASA Explorer and TASA Orbiter, two typefaces designed for the rebrand of Taiwan Space Agency (TASA). All fonts are released under the OFL open-source license in 2023. As of early 2025, new versions of both typefaces are in development, with improved drawings and restructured family styles. The release is scheduled in 2025 Q3, with plans to submit the fonts to the Google Fonts collection. Stay tuned!

Accompanying the release of the TASA Typeface Collection, a mini-site is launched to showcase the backstory and styles of the typefaces. The site features a functional type tester and glyphs overview section, built mostly from scratch. Visit the site.
