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.
