Description(English)	In our daily lives, many stainless steel products are created by deconstructing, cutting, and reassembling sheets of steel. Through various techniques, these raw materials are transformed into everyday objects. Steel sheets are like paper in the metal industry—highly versatile and adaptable. Different materials and thicknesses, shaped through craftsmanship, result in diverse forms.Through design, we explore stainless steel from multiple perspectives. By combining typography with storytelling, we aim to convey the culture of steel, allowing type design to carry narratives and communicate craftsmanship and meaning.
Description(Native)	在初期的選題調研中，我們藉由觀察自身生活，發現成員父親的職業從事不鏽鋼產業，對於不鏽鋼的印象只停留在日常用品的我們，開展了對「不鏽鋼」的探索。 日常中有許多不鏽鋼製品，都是從一塊塊鋼板解構、切割、重組而成，藉由不同的工藝形成我們日常的物品。鋼鈑就如同金屬工業裡的紙張，擁有極強的可塑性與多樣性，一片片不同材質、厚度，透過工藝，造就了多變的型態。我們透過設計對不鏽鋼進行不同層面的探索，藉由文字傳播鋼鐵文化，讓字型設計承載故事，傳遞工藝與訊息。藉由書籍與樣品本搭配閱讀形式呈現，讓觀眾透過感官及影像視覺感受不鏽鋼材料特性和鋼鐵工藝文化，看見與了解更多不同視角及材料背後的故事。 藉由語言作為不鏽鋼工藝與文化的媒介，將媒材蘊含的故事與工藝傳播，讓觀眾透過字型設計，串連不鏽鋼工藝文化與生活，看見紙張視角下不鏽鋼的特殊面貌
