MA Typeface Design, University of Reading

Aakriti is a typeface that was designed over 9 months on the MA Typeface Design at the University of Reading. The typeface harmonises Kannada, a south-Indian script spoken by 38 million people, with the Latin script. Kannada originates from palm leaf manuscripts where the use of curved shapes, rather than straight, were essential to ensure that the leaf did not break. The influence of these shapes helped determine the final form of Aakriti.
