Humans are believed to be the only creatures that shed tears in response to emotions.
As a symbol of emotional connection, teardrops are drawn into the fonts.
The ink blots caused by pauses in pen strokes echo the small triangles at the end of each stroke in the Ming typeface,
The disjointed brushstrokes during writing enable light and air to flow within the letters.
These aspects, perceived as flaws in writing, actually make the font more humane.
Imperfection can actually be beautiful.
The Variable font version enhances the expression of emotions with controlled ink overflow at stroke junctions, and users can adjust the level of overflow to experience the visual changes in emotions.
