Initiated a Typeface and Font Design Since 1995

THE CHALLENGE

Personal signature typeface

Typefaces represent an idea, culture, time, and history. Throughout history, the typefaces converted into a stereotype in delivering messages. Some typeface features represent concepts, but as globalization occurs, stereotype designs do not significantly affect concepts. 

THE SOLUTION

The key letterforms

I utilized the curvilinear lines of brush strokes when painting the letters. Elegance, loyalty, and nature are the key elements of the letterforms. I began designing ‘AC Young’ in 1995, and I continue to reach its perfection. 

THE MINDSET

No more stereotype

I named the typeface based on my name ‘Albert Young Choi.’ I named it as ‘AC Young’ to emphasize its spirit: ‘Young.’ 

Responsibilities: research, concept, letterforms, kerning pairs, and digital font
