Phudu is a sans-serif display typeface inspired by Vietnamese hand-lettering
billboards in the old days, that
 supports a wide range of languages by Duong Tran. As a new way to achieve
variable font, the lighterPhudu gets,
 the extended it becomes, for people to read it easier compared to other
lightweight narrow typefaces.

 In the progress of learning and crafting types, Duong has always thought
about what makes a Vietnamese typeface.
 If we rewind to the past, we can see a Vietnamese lettering style on the
billboard stores, when the artists adapted Latin
 typefaces and then added marks based on their styles. Among those, there were
mostly all-caps sans-serif types
 played as descriptions or the store's names themself. To make a new
easy-to-read and easy-to-get typeface,
 Duong mixed some of the researched letters from the story above. He doesn't
want to just revive the types, he wants to
 improve them to fit the modern-day styles, but still have "Vietnamese" souls
in them. The typeface was
 named Phudu (phục dựng) - "revival" in Vietnamese, and has a meaning of
timeless (quite the opposite of the name
 when it can be read as "phù du" - ephemeral).
