Toypography, by Dainippon Type Organization (first seen at DesignTide 2006) is a toy of typography. Fragments of letters, that can be put together to either English or Japanese letters and characters. The thing about Toypography is, that Japanese expressions can be transformed into English expressions of the same meaning.

Yeah I remember this, I was actually at the DesignTide exhibition in Tokyo. I remember writing the word 'cunt' with them. Good times.

That's very very cool.

By the way, these characters are actually Chinese, or kanji.

Br!ll!ant. Imagine the possibilities. Wonder how many other words they explored.
This could be a wonderful tool for teaching children (or adults) language both
visually and through action of building the letters and characters.

This thing is going to bore the pants off of the kids of thousands of geeked-out designers. Blech.

Yea, I'd post this link to all kind of teachers if it weren't for Christopher A. Lawson's comment. Way to go, jerk.

Haha. I agree. Really cool, but I gotta agree with Janek;I'm sure many people have turned letters into pictures into kanji etc. Making building blocks of this idea is clever, but nowhere near "beyond amazing!" w

>>By the way, these characters are actually Chinese, or kanji.

They were originally borrowed from Chinese, but they're Japanese characters now. Besides which, the current official Chinese versions of "horse" and "bird" for example are quite different.

Very cute/ cool but if you check out the site, you'll see how expensive they are. They range in price from 9500￥ for a short word like BEAR to 12500￥ for a longer word like MONKEY. That's about 100 bucks a word! To get all 7 words, it'll cost you around 700$. I dread to think what the shipping charge would be like (cheaper for me, I live in Japan.)

Posted by Michael-Sensei
00:47  /  10/07/2007


Coal, the Chinese versions of "horse" and "bird" are the same as pictured. But I think you are referring to simplified Chinese which does look slightly different and I don't believe is officially integrated as the national form of writing yet. (Long live traditional!!)

What prince-o3-tour would be bettre in my opinion would be to remove the wrist straps and the skin, and instead make it a 2 babolat pure drive, 2 stereing wheels, 1 baseball bat and 1 golf club. Still, this package is great value for your money. When my wife informed me that Emporio Armani was now pushing its own signature wilson k six, the EA7, I’ve got to admit, I was intrigued. Italian designres producing tennis rackets? How fashion forward of thstrong. I love it. Head microgel is style and preformance at cheap tennis racquets best. Haute couture meets the hard courts.
