(Approach)
Chungking Express epitomizes Wong Kar-wai's cinematic aesthetics for me. This inspired me to recreate and design using typography to capture the essence of the film. I play with light and shadow, using reflections and distortions through glass to add storytelling elements to the fonts. Combining Sans Serif and Serif fonts reflects the inner turmoil and uncertainty of the main characters in the movie.
(Background)

The film explores themes of loneliness, connection, and chance encounters against the backdrop of the city’s vibrant nightlife.
