BianZhiDai specimen from Velvetyne

A modular display and colour font that borrows its shading logic from ASCII art and the woven texture of plastic tote bags.

About

BianZhiDai takes its texture from two sources: the shading conventions of ASCII art and the woven pattern of Chinese plastic tote bags. Xiaoyuan Gao built the letters from repeating modules, then released them across thirteen variants, from plain outline sets to full COLR colour fonts.

Classification

Shading logic borrowed from ASCII art combines with the woven texture of Chinese plastic tote bags. Multiple COLR colour variants sit alongside plain outline versions.
