“Tension” is a quality that a curve is intended to carry. Taiwanese typeface designer Joe Chang’s Yoshihiko typeface has very interesting “reverse-contrast” feature, which provides a completely new reading experience and a strong visual impact to the audience’s eyes. Julius Hui’s Aero Mincho is a text typeface planned to emit a lively feeling to a page layout, by enhancing the tension of each of the strokes and reading rhythm. Intense:Intense is conversation between two ways of curve tension treatment, providing a fresh and interesting new perspective to audience in deTour.
