ABSTRACT

Topology is a study that focuses on the relationship of elements such as dots, lines, and faces, rather than the quantitative forms such as the size and length of Euclidean geometry. This is emerging as a new design methodology, with the potential for the transformation of formalized forms into multiple angles. Therefore, this study derives the formative principle of topography through the example of topographical expression in the field of formative art such as painting, sculpture and architecture, and can be connected to the following characteristics of typography. First, the expression of linked-writing is frequently used as a font design method, and is divided into open and closed linked-writing according to the way of drawing letters. In the case of Hangeul, it is possible to express various linked-writing due to the characteristics of collecting. Second, ambiguous boundaries are found in font designs that utilize visual illusions. This includes expressions that apply multi-views to syllabic block, and more complicatedly, expressions in which the viewpoints of the syllabic blocks are mixed when the font is input. Third, the modified expression that maintains homogeneity can be found in the modified letter design through distortion such as bending or stretching while maintaining the original character property. In addition, various characters are being drawn as a combination of variable font according to the user's input.
