Inspired by the simple design principles of contemporary
Japanese design and a certain rather ubiquitous lifestyle
brand, KAT MUMEI seeks not to elicit
feelings of strong desire. Rather, it seeks to evoke in
the user a sense of quiet satisfaction when he sits down
at his desk and looks down at his keyboard.
Hey all, been planning to run a keycaps GB for a
while now but without really committing as I found the
market oversaturated with GMK sets. Till I dabbled around
with this colorway, tried KAT and found the profile both
immensely satisfying to type on and particularly well suited
to bringing out the best in this colorway. So, without
further ado, allow me to present this IC for
Inspiration | 啓発
I played
with these colors some time ago whilst designing my personal
logo with the red and black providing a rather nice contrast
to the rice paper texture I laid the logo over. So the idea
sorta stuck but it was not till much later when I was
refining and simplifying the colors that I discovered the
similarities to the branding of a certain lifestyle brand.
And that’s pretty much how I arrived at the name.
Giving Back | 博愛
Let me preface this by saying that growing up some 20
years ago, I was fortunate to have access to a
well-developed public library in a system which placed much
emphasis on education. It was an environment which aided
immensely in cultivating my curiosity and whetting my
appetite for knowledge. However, even now, the same cannot
be said for all children around the world, particularly in
less developed nations.
As such, before I even approach
vendors, I would like to tentatively pledge 75% of my cut as
‘designer’ of this set (sans cost of production e.g.
renders) towards
Room to Read
- a non-profit organization committed to improving literacy
and gender equality in education in the developing world. Of
course, if something can be worked out with the vendors,
that’d be even better.

Rationale for Icon Mods | 根拠
Since there has been quite a few queries as to how I
arrived at the design of the icon mods, I think I’d best
explain it here. At the start of the project, I wished for
the icons to be simple and minimal, to be line with the
theme. Thus, I set myself the challenge of redesigning the
existing icon mods around 2 basic shapes - a Triangle
and a Line
. The resulting icon mods is the culmination of that
challenge to myself.
