Projects
  • Flyst Typeface
    Flyst TypefaceA multi-style typeface in Latin and Tamil scripts supported with my research conducted for the MA dissertation Visual Analysis of Tamil Types. Features of the type family include: Serif and flared styles for Latin, a universal italic which works with both, multiple weights and optical sizes, and for the Tamil multiple angles based on slants in historical examples. The Tamil characterset also includes some historic characters. This portfolio document is typeset using Flyst.
