Reviving the Nubian Script, Part II: Restarting Nubian Type Design
A talk by Arbaab Eujayl
A presentation on designing type for the Nubian script. The script rose and fall with the Three Kingdoms Era of Nubia and was revived by Nubian activists in the 90s; however, the new, typed Nubian was based on Coptic rather than the ancient manuscripts that inspired the revival. This presentation breaks down how Nubian type history can be rebooted, reviving the unique qualities of the Nubian script which were erased by the Coptic fonts which have represented the entirety of Nubian's typed history, contributing to the discussion on designing for endangered scripts and providing a resource for future Nubian type designers.
