Detailed Description

Type design and development is a process that involves the minute refinement of every detail. From scratch to end design, it needs a good understanding of form, space, balance, and a tremendous amount of patience, along with technical knowledge.

This project is the continuation of my previous project (designing a monolinear Devanagari font). In which I have designed the basic Unicode character set in regular weight. The aim of the project was to design a matching Devanagari font for Univers for bilingual communication at IDC, School of Design, IIT Bombay.

This report describes my experiences, work process, understanding of the details, and methodology for developing a font. I have presented my work in the form of the design process, which includes pre-study, designing, analysing, testing, and refining. It shows my role and involvement in the development, as well as how I came up with a suitable design solution.
