The idea of this project was initiated during my previous design project P2 where I designed a body font in Odia script. That project helped me overcome the barrier of getting into typeface design. I was able to achieve my primary objective to learn typeface design. While doing the project, I also was exposed to a few problem areas and potential cases where a new typeface can be introduced. One of which interested me was headlines.
I was also designing the Odia typeface with the aim of providing an open-source font with open-type features which would help in enriching the Odia content on the web.
This project helps me extend the script knowledge and the knowledge gained about optical illusions in type design during my Design Exploration Seminar.
