TypePOP Show Explores the Typography of Hong Kong’s Vibrant Neighborhoods

Visiting Kai Tak, a new neighborhood built on the site of Hong Kong’s former airport, can be an overwhelming experience. However, amidst the gleaming landmarks, an art space called Gate33 offers a glimpse into the city’s older, more familiar neighborhoods through its latest exhibition, TypePOP Show. The immersive and interactive exhibition showcases the work of 10 designers and artists who have used typography to explore the built environments, communities, and culture of Wong Tai Sin, San Po Kong, Kowloon City, and To Kwa Wan. The exhibition features a diverse range of works, from furniture shaped like Chinese characters to interactive digital installations. It also includes a walk-through installation featuring hand-lettered signs inspired by the graphic landscape of To Kwa Wan. The TypePOP Show is a celebration of Hong Kong’s unique typographical landscape and the vibrant communities that shape it.
