Type Design

Representing Lưu Chữ, her Vietnamese typography collective, Thy shared the group’s journey in preserving the cultural essence of Vietnamese typography amid modernisation, along with their research into its documented evolution.

Counter Forms is a new typographic venture that champions young, discursive Antipodean type designers. Thy was honoured to contribute as a member of the collective and take part in the launch panel at the Melbourne Art Book Fair 2023.

In Further Reading Print No. 3, Thy contributed an essay titled "Forward to the Past", reflecting on Vietnamese typography and her journey into type design. Acknowledging that type design is still largely viewed as a Western-centric discipline, she hopes to help bridge the gap between markets in the future.
