Katy Mawhood British graduate of the MATD program at the University of Reading, class of 2013. Her graduation typeface was Aakriti, a typeface that harmonizes Latin and (the south Indian script) Kannada. Kannada was written on palm leafs in ancient times. So as not to make the palm leaves break, the letters had to be curved. To force Latin to converge to that curved standard while remaining true to itself was achieved by subtle changes in the terminals in the Latin part. After graduation, she started work as a designer in Norwich, UK. Behance link.
