ABOUT THE EVENT:

Typeface design is about drawing and spacing beautiful letters, which is not as straightforward if you are making one for a script you haven’t grown up with. In this talk, Toshi discusses the ways to approach a new writing system without committing yourself to a university degree.

Toshi Omagari is an independent typeface designer in London. After graduating from MA Typeface Design at the University of Reading, he has worked for Monotype where he made typefaces for a variety of scripts including Tibetan and Arabic. He is the author of the Arcade Game Typography.
