篆Seal
Inspiration:
Hello world, I’m Xingzhi, a fresh rookie in keyboard design from China.
This full size newbee is brought to you by me and my friend Qin. It’s produced by the Vertex team of ‘Angle’ you might be familiar with.
Qin and I are both fanatic collectors of vintage keyboards, such as IBM, Cherry.
In the classic world, full size type is always the main stream. Cherry G80-3108 with a key on top right, was such an iconic design, followed by Apple and WYSE with products sharing the same idea.
That’s where my debut show came from.
Furthermore, what often haunts my heart is that how to attach any Chinese aesthics into a keyboard design, something tranditional and reserved.
If Calligraphy would be an introduction to ancient art, then instantly the Seal Script from the very first QIN dynasty occurred to my mind.
This is why our first design featuring a signature badge is called ‘Seal’.
The seal badge inspires you to customize your name or favourite chinese character, just like an artist’s engraving in his masterpiece.
