Designing typefaces that accommodate the Vietnamese language is a rigorous process that requires very particular knowledges and cultural understandings which is why the majority of typefaces today still lack proper support. Thus, we were deeply impressed as we learned about the work ethics and designpractice of the young professional Vietnamese type designer Harry Đinh (@blurrygrains).

A controlled chaos aesthetic was chosen to capture the non-linear design process of Harry and the essence of Vietnamese cultures.
