Detailed Description

The project is an attempt of acquainting me to the field of type design and scripts in India. The format of the document is more like my learning diary where I have tried to put together the various facets of type design the way I have learnt them. ‘The process has been equally important to the end product’. The chapters progress in the same order as I have approached my project. The first two chapters speak briefly about the nature of work in CDAC in the field of font design and an account of the project initiated there. In the next two chapters I have tried to summarize very briefly the digitization in letter design pertaining to Indian scripts and standards and the study of devanagari script which is a prerequisite to developing further understanding. The further chapters extensively elaborate my project work and stages involved. It reflects my approach and methodology and the actual learning of the project and process of font design. Thus the document lays down the process of my summer internship, moreover the many various things I got to learn and see during the course of this project.
