Compose two styles
Rather than blending two styles into a middle, this assigns them roles: one carries the structure, the other appears as an accent. Where the two fight, it says so before you start.
How to divide the work
- Composition
- Follow Hangul Typography: Set the measure by syllable count, leading opened wider than the letterfit
- Type
- Set in Hangul Typography's manner (Align optical centers and choose deliberately between the square frame and breaking it), and let Modular Type System's lettering (One family, developed through weight, width and size) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Hangul Typography's material (Check ink trap in print and stroke thinning on the actual screen); bring in exactly one thing from Modular Type System (Fix the rules of size, leading and margin before color).
- Colour
- Build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 and admit one accent from #eeece5, #3c64bb, #171714.
Where they fight
- Both belong to Type Classification, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
Caution
- Hangul Typography Tracking tight with Latin habits crushes the assembly of consonant and vowel, and the design that maps the structure of sound stops being readable.
- Modular Type System Rule-keeping is not the goal. Leave room for the content's exceptions.
Image prompt
An original image that takes its structure from Hangul Typography (Style, 1446– / 1980s–) and its accent from Modular Type System (Layout, modernist–variable type). Structural cues: Geometric assembly of phonemes; The square frame and its dismantling; The figurative quality of consonants; Systematic combination. Accent cues, used sparingly: Ratio scales; Repeating hierarchy; Baseline grid; Variable widths. Composition: Set the measure by syllable count, leading opened wider than the letterfit. Type and lettering: Align optical centers and choose deliberately between the square frame and breaking it. Let one material quality come from the second style: Fix the rules of size, leading and margin before color. Mood: Technology, Rebellion, Trust, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #eeece5, #3c64bb, #171714. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.
