Vietnamese Alphabet - Poster

A minimalist tribute to the Vietnamese language through a Swiss design lens. Growing up Viet Kiều, my grasp of Vietnamese was unsteady—picked up through karaoke lyrics, family conversations, and street slang rather than formal education. Fluency came and went, like the tides of the boats my parents arrived on.

I’ve always been drawn to Swiss design—clean grids, bold type, clarity without fluff. The Swedish alphabet IKEA poster stuck with me—simple, structured, crisp. As a kid, I wondered: how would Vietnamese look with that same treatment?

So I made this—for my childhood self. Vietnamese typography often fades into the background—this piece brings it forward. What started as a simple design became something more—a bridge to language, history, and identity.
