Indian Typographic Diary

Type Design is often devel­oped from a West­ern per­spec­tive, cen­tered around the Latin alpha­bet. Even though, in recent times, there’s light being shed on Non-Latin Type Design prac­tices, there’s lit­tle talk about the inter­twined nature of the two worlds. 

Indi­an Typo­graph­ic Diary pro­pos­es a start­ing point for con­dens­ing information­ around the tur­moil lan­guages, and scripts have faced in South Asia. Weav­ing through soci­etal con­texts and sto­ries of design­ers and edu­ca­tors con­tribut­ing to the post-colo­nial design dis­course; the pub­li­ca­tion itself tries to incor­po­rate abun­dance and lim­i­ta­tions at the same time. Print­ed in parts in New Del­hi and Zurich, it reflects the influ­ence of both places.
