About
“The World Font” is one of my early university projects. We had an assignment to create a custom font in our typography subject, so I decided to make something very special. I wanted to create a typeface that visually unites scripts used all around the world. For that purpose I researched the most popular scripts and used them to shape all letters of the latin script.
Although I couldn’t cover all of them I was proud of the result. The prerequisite to recognize value in diversity is the realisation that we are all humans. This is what I wanted to achieve - a homogeneous typeface at first glance that unfolds it’s beauty on the second look.

I’m proud of this project as it was featured on mulitple art pages. I even got a special mention by the belgian computer scientist and professor Luc Devroye :)
