| With the rapid development of digital technology in today’s society and the increasing diversity of textual expression,experimental typefaces,which propose new explorations of traditional fonts,map the new needs of the younger generation in the course of time.Psychedelic art was born in the 1960 s and its exploratory,self-expressive forms are similar to some of the novel design forms that are being created today through the digital context,while some young people are fond of the acidic style,a representative of contemporary psychedelic art,but there is still a gap in understanding the psychedelic art behind the acidic style.However,there is still a lack of awareness of the psychedelic art behind the acid style,and very little understanding of its origins.The aim of this paper is to explore the research and application of psychedelic art in experimental typeface design,to analyse and study psychedelic art as an artistic style,and to use experimental typefaces as a design vehicle to introduce psychedelic art as a style into experimental typeface design.Firstly,this paper will introduce the definition of experimental typefaces,the similarities and differences with traditional fonts,and the future development trend of experimental typefaces.Secondly,the paper will analyse the development of psychedelic art,its visual characteristics and the interrelationship with the psychedelic experience.Finally,the paper focuses on the research and application of psychedelic art in the design of experimental typefaces,examining the relationship between the concepts and forms behind the psychedelic art style,so as to form some methods of application in experimental typeface design and carry out design practice through the application of the methods.The research and application of psychedelic art in experimental typeface design can expand new design ideas for designers and contribute to the continuation of the psychedelic art style in a small way.In the future,improving the quality and richness of typeface design will require the integration of advanced design concepts and an open design vision across fields,to push the boundaries of design and gain more attention. |
