“词字”——合文会意的字体设计研究

"Ligature of Word":Font Design with"Compound Font"and"Understanding"

目的“词字”作为文字学领域崭新的术语和概念,通过对汉字“合文”中“词”的分析以及“六书”中“会意”造字法与“合文”的结合应用,挖掘设计学中“词字”的内在含义,探索“词字”“合文会意”的设计方法。方法从文字学中的“词字”概念出发,借助“六书”中的“会意”造字法启发设计思维并结合“合文”设计方法,针对所选“词”对象,在深入理解其内涵和字体结构的基础上,将减“笔”共用、结构“意”变的创意方法和统一“合”谐的设计规范应用到“词字”的创意字体设计中。结论“词字”与“合文”分别作为内隐和外显相互融合,“合文”设计形式与“六书”中“会意”造字法的结合对于当下的创意文字设计具有重要意义。“词字”可作为传统“六书”造字法之外的解释及补充,同时也丰富了“合文”设计的内涵。
