Indigenous, yet multi-functional script kinds – Gurmukhi in this project and long-term research study open up new possibilities to design typefaces/forms that narrate a cultural essence, philosophy and meaning in an emotive, personalized ways. The personalisation adds to new kind of experiments with both FORMS and FEATURES as part of the Ik Onkar Model.
