字裏行間:數碼字形、字體美學與排版實踐 (In Search of Texts: Digital Font, Glyph aesthetics and Typesetting practices)

語言和文字的發明,讓人們互相溝通、傳遞想法心情,以至訂立契約。世情紛繁,想描述得更傳神,我們就要更多的字詞。從古到今,文字從象形、會意、假借等六書分衍,演進如「受」「授」「綬」字各有義涵;同時亦在於傳訊方式和時代變遷,漸漸地削減日常用字的數量。

書寫形式更迭,雖然迅速,可是無論線上線下,遣詞用字,我們始終不斷求索,一張明信片、一枚卡片或一封情書的價值和功用永遠不會消失。

「詞彙擁有的力量,不是為了帶來傷害,而是為了守護、傳達,是一種想要和別人連繫、分享的力量。一旦理解這一點,就會開始探索自己的內心,留意周圍人們的心意和想法。」
– 三浦紫苑《編舟記》(2013)

自本世紀初以來,數碼人文領域拓展一日千里。

有關網上字庫和字體的創造、設計、版式要求等等,如何配合不同學科的知識內容,將是有趣又值得深思的課題。
