Initiated a Typeface and Font Design Since 1995

THE CHALLENGE

Personal signature typeface

Typefaces represent an idea, culture, time, and history. Throughout history, typefaces have become stereotypes in delivering messages. Some typeface features represent concepts, but as globalization occurs, stereotypical designs no longer significantly reflect those concepts. 

THE SOLUTION

The key letterforms

I used curvilinear brush-stroke lines 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 stereotypes

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

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