China 42: Chinese Comic Sans
24 February 2009


Ahem. When hiring reknown foreign architect firms to design multi-million buildings, you think you can spend a few on the signage too. It doesn’t take a chinese calligrapher to recognize poor typography. Unfortunately not limited to Paul Andreu’s “Egg/Space Shuttle” National Grand Theatre, these caracters must be embeded into millions of computers (or signage factories) for I am spotting these eyesores regularly, slapped over everything as though they were all [still] Stalinist constructions.
