Handpainted Type
[Hanif Kureshi]
Hanif Kureshi is an Art Director/ Graphic Designer who has graduated from Faculty of Fine Art, Baroda. He has worked with Ogilvy&Mather in both New Delhi and Mumbai before moving back to New Delhi to join Wieden+Kennedy. Speaker at ATypI 2011 in Reykjavik on Painter Kureshi: Painter Kureshi is a presentation that charts this ubiquitous phenomenon and seeks to preserve and digitize the rich but dying art form of hand painted type that became the cultural motif of India. The project involves inviting street painters to create all characters of the roman alphabet in their own styles, digitizing them and making them available on Handpaintedtype.com, where a short film on the current scenario is also on show. The presentation explains the process with examples and recent results of the typefaces created by a number of street painters across India. Several of these (mostly Latin) typefaces can be freely downloaded. A list: Painter Umesh, Painter Kafeel, Charan Art, Painter Vasant, Painter Vaghela, Painter Bindra, Painter Shakeel. |
