“Language is more than just an acoustic wave motion and the mere means of thought transference. In the same way, typography is more than just an optical wave motion for the same purpose”—El Lissitzky. This book relates and contrasts two prolific essays from Russian Constructivist typographer El Lissitzky with a curated series of interviews highlighting the processes and considerations of type designers from the Indian Type Foundry (ITF) while creating new six typefaces for northern and southern Indian regional scripts.
