Southeast Asian Font Workshop 2018

• Understand the typographic conventions for Thai, Lao, Burmese and Khmer scripts.
• See what the letters look like and how they work together.
• Develop a concept for a type family and see where to start with each script.
• Sketch key characters to give your design a clear direction with feedback from local experts.
• Learn how to fit the different scripts together coherently.
• Go deeper into each script to build the glyph set. Identify common difficulties and how to get things right.
• No technical knowledge required: you can work on paper or digitally as you prefer.
