Kazuko Miyamoto Typedesign

The Kazuko Miyamoto Typedesign project was created by CTP – Conversation Taking Place to celebrate the artist’s unique approach to visual language. The work combines geometric abstraction and expressive typography, reflecting Miyamoto’s artistic legacy.

Visual Language Rooted in Geometry and Expression

This typedesign project interprets Miyamoto’s use of grids, lines, and shapes, while incorporating typographic elements that convey movement and rhythm. The Kazuko Miyamoto Typedesign uses minimalism and repetition to evoke the artist’s style, blending precision with emotion.

The project was developed to translate Miyamoto’s visual art into a functional type system that supports communication while retaining artistic integrity.

Modular and Dynamic Typography

The typeface adapts to various applications—from exhibition graphics and printed matter to digital media. Modular grids guide layout decisions, ensuring consistency and flexibility.

Typography choices emphasize clarity and readability, yet remain playful and expressive. The Kazuko Miyamoto Typedesign balances structure and freedom, echoing Miyamoto’s balance between control and improvisation.

Honoring Artistic Legacy through Design

This project not only extends Miyamoto’s visual language, but also invites contemporary audiences to engage with her work through new mediums. By bridging art and typography, it offers a fresh perspective on her legacy.

Graphic Expression in Contemporary Contexts

At CTP, we specialize in typographic projects that merge art and communication. If you seek to create a visual language rooted in conceptual art, we build systems that support both aesthetics and function.
