A Digital Vietnamese Typography Project

Built through research, hands-on practice, and visual experimentation.

From learning resources to public presentations of Vietnamese typographic thinking.

About the project

VIT NAM YÊU DU is a long-term digital research initiative focused on Vietnamese typography, with particular attention to the role of diacritics in shaping meaning, readability, and visual structure.

Although Vietnamese is written using the Latin script, its diacritical system introduces a level of complexity that remains underexamined in typographic education and professional practice.

The project is developed through an integration of theoretical research, practice-based learning, and visual experimentation.

Rather than prescribing fixed typographic solutions, it emphasizes observation, analysis, and comparative evaluation, allowing typographic decisions to emerge from an informed understanding of the language itself.

VIỆT NAM YÊU DẤU functions as a growing knowledge framework, supported by collective contribution from designers, students, educators, and researchers.

Through learning resources and public presentations, the project seeks to establish a shared critical discourse around Vietnamese typographic thinking.

Practice-based learning

Knowledge is developed through hands-on testing, close observation, and iterative comparison.

Collective contribution

The project grows through shared perspectives and contributions from the design and academic community.
