RSVP for the #LubalinLectureSeries April 10 at 12:30 pm Eastern US time online. Aleksandra SamuÄĽenkova will be giving a talk about designing type and what it is to be 'native' to a script. http://coopertype.org/event/having_an_accent_in_type_design
Type@Cooper: Having an accent in type design. with Aleksandra SamuÄĽenkova <meta property=

Being native to a script or just an alphabet is rightfully considered to be an advantage or even a crucial requirement when designing typefaces for that script or alphabet. As a type designer who designs for three scripts while being native to only two of them, I am eager to examine the concept of nativeness in type design. What exactly is considered to be native to a script, an alphabet within a script, or a single letter within an alphabet? In type design, what aspects of the nativeness are most important?
