Typography of Language Master Class TM

About the Master Class:

This course teaches about typeface design particularly for the people who are starting up with typeface designing grooming as young graphic designers and product designers. Teaches the form of real-time case studies using Tamil language and its typeface evolution in detail. One can learn about the attributes and technicalities of typeface designs particularly such as lettering, spacing, KERNING, Lower ascenders, decdecendors, base alignment, standard height, vowels etc.

Design philosophy:

As I used to say in my design courses, that design cannot be learned in the rot learning or Text book way of learning that you do through a chapter wise and remember some formulas that will yield you some solutions. Design is unique and when different people approach the same problems we will get different solutions based on the inputs that designer works on.

So design can be approached in the way of learning through the case studies and by doing action on your own to learn yourself.

Learning by doing and learning by action.
