1000TON Typeface: A Unique and Bold Font for Creative Design

Designer Chenglong Tao Pushes the Boundaries of Typography

Using vector software CorelDraw, Tao meticulously designed each glyph, including letters, numbers, and punctuation. He then transferred the designs to FontlabStudio for further editing and refinement. The final step involved adjusting character spacing to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing result. The font was saved and published as an OpenType file, allowing users to scale it according to their needs.

The 1000TON typeface is a versatile product that can be used in various design projects. Its bold and distinctive appearance adds a touch of creativity to flat posters and packaging layouts.

Tao's design process for 1000TON began in May 2017, with the formal design phase commencing in mid-June. By early July, the font was ready for production. Throughout the project, Tao faced the challenge of maintaining the heavy stroke weight while ensuring consistency across all characters. The final shape of each glyph was carefully selected to achieve a harmonious and unified style.

Recognizing the excellence and ingenuity of the 1000TON typeface, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration, and Visual Communication Design category in 2018. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate exceptional creativity, technical skill, and a commitment to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

With its bold and distinctive aesthetic, the 1000TON typeface is a testament to Chenglong Tao's dedication to pushing the boundaries of typography. Install the OpenType font and unleash its creative potential in your next design project.
