INdian x Irish Typeface

Custom Type

Designed in: Adobe Illustrator.

This single line type face symbolizes the weaving of cultures, bringing people from two different backgrounds together through design. Inspired by designs from the cultures of India and Ireland. The characters are made from a single weaving line. The shapes derived from Irish Celtic Knots and the weaving pattern of an Indian bangle.

Irish Celtic Knots symbolize that all things in the natural world are connected, the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Indian Bangles are used as Marriage markers in India and frequently include weaving patterns. Used as a marriage marker, when an Indian woman is married she will commonly wear a bangle.

Both patterns symbolize the connection of people. One symbolized the connection of people through generations and the other the connection of people through marriage. Forms from both designs were included throughout the typeface. Symbolizing the weaving of cultures through design.
