Sneak Peek: Adelle Sans Devanagari
In 2013, Veronika and José visited the University of Reading as students again. They took the TDI course for a few days to understand how scripts from northern India work, to see samples in the Typography Department archives, and to make the first sketches of Adelle Sans Devanagari. To finish this project it took nearly four years, the collaboration of talented designers Erin McLaughlin and Vaibhav Singh, and external consultancy by expert Fiona Ross. Download the PDF to see a sneak peek of our first Devanagari type family, bringing the flexible and personable look of Adelle Sans to the third most used script in the world.

Fourth mentorship winner: Bogidar Mascareña’s Lanka
Each year TypeTogether holds an open call for post-grad students to submit their burgeoning typefaces for release through our foundry’s Typeface Publishing Incentive Program. We are excited to announce this year’s winner — the Lanka family by Bogidar Mascareña! Lanka uses the junctures of calligraphic strokes as an opportunity to achieve a stencil effect, shifting those connections to create unexpected shapes that arrest the reader’s attention. In its fourth year now, TPIP is primarily a mentorship program with the added benefits of a small sum of money and a publishing agreement when the type family is complete. Mascareña studied at KABK’s Typemedia program and took inspiration for Lanka from famous Spanish calligrapher Francisco Palomares. Thank you to all those who made submissions and congratulations again to Bogidar Mascareña!
