Creative concept, curatorial work & exhibition design for TypeOn, a showcase of Contemporary font design. 

Communication campaign activates the public to engage in call to action campaign in social media and The Nut hub to contribute creatively finding fonts hidden in real life objects. TYPEON discusses the state of Contemporary Chinese font and showcases the work of innovators in the field.
