For the final project in the course (Grand Prix), Harshal created a colored variable Devanagari typeface ‘highlighting the structural construct and ornament of the script.’ For final presentation, he used a .py library, ColdType, to animate the forms to respond to audio input.


From Harshal:

“A Devanagari variable type and an analog tool that distills letters of the Indic script to visual abstraction, separating the form from its meaning.”
