Why would anyone execute someone who has invented an alphabet? Yet it's happened at least 4 times, and other script authors have been arrested or exiled. Answers at lnkd.in/eDSpcQWg. As always, the full version is in my book Writing Beyond Writing endangeredalphabets.com/writing-beyond…
Interested in Armenian typographic scripts? On May 23, at 6:30 PM at our Institute, join us and Dr Elena Papassissa to discuss the modernisation of the Armenian typographic script and its impact on the development of subsequent Armenian typefaces. Register shorturl.at/oCP26
You know the drill: what's the script? What does it say? What is the wood? Answers on a postcard, as the BBC used to say....
#Latest: Today, the Central Bank of Morocco integrates the Tifinagh script into its official branding, raising hopes for its potential inclusion on future banknotes.
Are you interested in Arabic type design & have a love for the old Egyptian movie posters? We have the type design course just for you! We are offering for the first time, an Arabic type design course focused solely on the Ruqaa style. The course is led by the great @Tosche_E.
We have just opened the call for applications to the first VIEWS Visiting Fellowship competition! If you work on visual aspects of writing, why not come and spend some time with us? viewsproject.wordpress.com/visiting-fello…
Inner Structures – Outer Rhythms ift.tt/unS4eqm
Malayalam users: I am looking at some rarer conjuncts that fonts I have looked render with explicit candrakkala—e.g. ന്പ്യ as in നന്പ്യാര്—and wondering whether they could be rendered with subscript second/medial consonant in a (very) traditional orthography font?
So @crewsproject is asking: "If you have any knowledge or experience about braille publishing, or braille as a script, [we] would love to hear from you." Do reach out, they're great people to work with.
Some fun stuff. “What African type design can be.” Exploring some rare typographic nomenclature in African scripts and writing/reading directions (TTB boustrophedon and TTB Rongorongo) Read more… Dedicated to @alinawheeler and the Wheeler family. instagram.com/p/C5vzQ14uDNC/…
Anyone making Malayalam fonts with ligated final –ya forms? Or is that an archaism too far? Some of the shapes are really lovely.
Hey, my #Indonesian friends! I came across this article from 2015 on restoring traditional #Balinese writing and lontar, and I wondered whether things have progressed in the last 9 years? insideindonesia.org/editions/editi…
@hhpapazian Wait for my version of a book that is covering typographic analysis of African scripts in collaboration with type designers and input methods experts. I will keep you updated. Though I am being advised to include other non-Latin scripts to score the convo on “universality”.
hey Ge'ez/Ethiopia/Eritrea people, i made a thing on wiktionary that generates declension tables for Ge'ez nouns. if you know some Ge'ez, mind taking a look and telling me if it's working right?
Remembering Santi Lawrachawee at GRANSHAN Conference 2014, where he gave an amazing speech surrounded by incredible guests and fellow type designers. Thank you for the inspiration and enriching discussion. © Michael Bundscherer
