The typography was fashioned by Chong, a talented art director responsible for some pretty [genius graphic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-moodify), and features creatively cocked texts that easily act as a whole alphabet. From the academic-looking 'A' to the zig-zag positioned publications that make up the 'Z,' the lettering is perfectly fit for [library lovers and voracious readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-collection). The [perfectly positioned hardcovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand) that comprise the Chan Hwee Chong 'Books' font are dynamic designs not to be dismissed because the clever alphabet is an all-around novel idea! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Novel Typography:** The Chan Hwee Chong 'Books' Font is an example of alternative typography making a statement. - **Artistic Alphabets:** Creatively designed alphabets are becoming a popular trend in graphic design and advertising. - **Library-inspired Designs:** Designs inspired by libraries and literature are gaining popularity in the creative industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can incorporate the Chan Hwee Chong 'Books' Font as part of their creative work to stand out. - **Advertising:** Advertising industries can use visually striking typography to capture attention and convey messages more effectively. - **Publishing:** Incorporating unique typography designs like Chan Hwee Chong's 'Books' font can provide a competitive edge in the publishing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instant Noodle-Crafted Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-new-ramen.md) - [Typography-Inspired Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-industries.md) - [Quirky Snack-Inspired Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-other-hand-font.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md) - [Typography-Inspired Canadian Sweatshirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okayok.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-typography-stamp-set.md) - [Playful Font-Associated Personalities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-acrobat.md) - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md)
