Visual Translation: A New Way to Design a Chinese Typeface Based on an Existing Latin Typeface

The visual consistency of branding makes a significant difference when successfully
introduced to another culture. My study focuses on how to facilitate a smooth visual
transition in western branding from Latin letters to Chinese characters. To move beyond
traditional Chinese type design, Visual Translation introduces a new method for
designing Chinese typefaces using existing Latin typefaces. This web-based educational
tool seeks to help Chinese graphic design students and type enthusiasts, with emphasis on
designers who are working in a cross-cultural environment to maintain visual consistency
for branding.
