This poster examines the concept of letter modulations in… Continue reading Exploring Emotional Perception in Devanagari Calligraphy: Letter Modulation Techniques, Tools, and Style Variations

Kaithi (KAE-THEE), also known as Kayathi or Kayasthi, was once a widely used script in northern India but is now classified as “major extinct.” Flourishing alongside Devanagari and other major scripts, Kaithi played a significant role in administrative and literary contexts before fading from common use. Rooted in the Kayastha community—historically known as scribes—its revival… Continue reading Kaithi and the Future of Multiscript Design

A Study on the Change of Turkish Alphabet: Research on a Cultural Identity

The Turkish language underwent a profound transformation nearly a century ago with the transition from the Arabic script to a Latin-based Turkish alphabet.

Each of these elements… Continue reading A Study on the Change of Turkish Alphabet: Research on a Cultural Identity

My final thesis at the masters education in Graphic Communication Design at The Royal Academy in Copenhagen is a typeface exploring the interplay of typography and lettering. With two opposites, two extremes (typographic and lettering) the typeface spans the classification of a text typeface and a display typeface. The type explores the interplay of typography… Continue reading The Interplay of Typography and Lettering

Athraitheach: changeable; changing; fluctuating; shifting; varying. Conceptually informed by, and materially embedded in, current technological developments in typeface design, this project, ‘Athraitheach: Who do you think you are?’, (a collaboration between Declan Behan, who designed the typeface, and Clare Bell’s PhD research, which informs this text and the project rationale) takes the form of a… Continue reading Who Do You Think You Are?

Inflection Points: Inclusion of Fundamental Typographic Principles in Design Curricula

In my experience, the common practice in undergraduate design curricula rarely explores the fundamentals of type design, instead focusing on generalized typographic principles, resulting in a lack of fulsome understanding behind the many standard rules. In response to this anecdotal state of affairs, in my approach as an educator I expose students to critical theories… Continue reading Inflection Points: Inclusion of Fundamental Typographic Principles in Design Curricula
