Braile Typeface
Introducing a new typeface designed to bridge the gap between vision-impaired and normal vision individuals, our innovative font seamlessly combines elements of the alphabet with Braille. This dual functionality not only serves a practical purpose by conserving space that would otherwise be required for separate scripts but also holds a powerful emotional resonance. Each letter visually and harmonically coexists, emphasizing the unity between the two writing systems.
Research
This design goes beyond mere functionality; it conveys a profound message that individuals with different visual abilities are not distinct enti- ties but share a common ground. The intentional fusion of traditional alphabets and Braille evokes a sense of inclusivity and equality. By allowing both systems to coexist within each character, this typeface serves as a visual metaphor for the idea that diversity is not a barrier but an enrich- ing element that brings people together. The result is a visually striking, emotionally resonant typeface that challenges preconceived notions and fosters a more inclusive and empathetic communication experience for all.
Sketches
Through a series of iterations, I navigated the delicate balance between legibility and tactile functionality, striving to create a typeface that would cater to diverse readerships. This exploration not only challenged my design sensibilities but also underscored the significance of inclusive typography in fostering communication across diverse communities.
