利巴苏:一种多字反对比字体。在标准字体中,垂直的字体通常比水平的字体重。然而,在反对比字体中,正态重量分布是相反的;结果是,重量集中在帽高、x高和基线上,创造了强烈的水平视觉联系。与拉丁字母不同,汉字和假名中的权重分布要复杂得多,而且不只是在垂直的领域。许多笔画是对角线或弯曲的,因此重量分布在不同的笔画上有所不同。简单地颠倒权重分布可能不会产生与拉丁语中相同的视觉结果。我的方法不是从字面上颠倒权重,而是创建一个非拉丁反向对比,以捕捉拉丁反向对比的视觉本质。其本质是古怪的个性和强烈的横向联系,因此,两者可以在视觉上兼容。

Ribaasu: A multi-script reverse-contrast typeface. In standard typefaces, verticals are usually heavier than horizontals. However in a reverse-contrast typeface, the normal weight distribution is reversed; the result is that the weight becomes concentrated along the cap-height, x-height and baseline, which creates a strong horizontal visual connection. Unlike the Latin alphabet, the weight distribution in Kanji and Kana are much more complex, and not just on the verticals. Many strokes are diagonal or curved, therefore the weight distribution varies on different strokes. Simply reversing the weight distribution may not create the same visual result as the Latin one. Instead of reversing the weight literally, my approach is to create a non-Latin reverse-contrast in order to capture the visual essence of the Latin reverse-contrast. That essence is the quirky personality and strong horizontal connection, thus, both can work together in a visually compatible way.
