The project began with collecting and studying midcentury Vietnamese songbooks and cover designs. I looked closely at how lettering was constructed in those prints, paying attention to the way strokes tapered, how diagonals met corners, and how titles filled tight spaces on the page. To better understand stroke contrast, I rewrote several letterforms using different tools, including a flat calligraphy brush and a fountain pen. This helped me observe how thick and thin strokes form through hand movement. Early sketches explored structure and proportion before moving into Glyphs. Each character was then drawn and refined with careful attention to spacing and overall balance. The diacritics were positioned so tone marks sit comfortably with the letterforms and remain clear at display sizes. The typeface was refined as a display design intended for headlines, posters, and signage.
