Poem ver.A

A personal typography project featuring a Tang dynasty Chinese poem by Wang Wei. The challenge lies in balancing different weights and complicated negative spaces of the characters.

For those of you who can't read Chinese, here's a beautiful translation I found online by Mr. Xu YuanChong:
 
Autumn Evening in the Mountains
by Wang Wei
  
  After fresh rain in mountains bare
  Autumn permeates evening air.
  Among pine-trees bright moonbeams peer;
  O’ver crystal stones flows water clear.
  Bamboos whisper of washer-maids;
  Lotus stirs when fishing boat wades.
  Though fragrant spring may pass away,
  Still here’s the place for you to stay.
