Palawa

Font Design
Unfinished project in progress

“Palawa” fonts are inspired by ancient Javanese script which later I found out has long history with Tamil script writing. I was also inspired by the fluidity and strokes of batik motifs and patterns. The project was submitted for my thesis project but still on going until now trying to fine tune the whole set.

Geulis | 1998

Font Design
School Project
Digital output

I submitted two proposals of masthead designs for fictional magazine called “SCI” (Stands for Science, Culture and Ideas). Tony DiSpina, my professor at that time picked one and challenged me to design the whole alphabet for the other one. I took that challenge and produce this concept of font called Geulis. And yes, its from Sundanese language.
