tdi x 2026 masters research matd practice typeface design at reading we shape the the development of typeface design as a formal discipline in a space where research and practice coexist we recognise the depth and importance of cultural contexts the technological environments and ways of thinking that influence innovation and practice the language and mental models we use to comprehend and discuss typographic design through typeface design we explore the tension between traditional notions and modernity and the construction of identity how we shape the visible forms of language and in turn this shapes us we do this at four levels a research group with interdisciplinary strands a vibrant community of phd researchers a portfolio of masters programmes and an intensive summer course research

systems and cultures research group our research group investigates the translation of scripts to typographic resources the technical infrastructure and social environments that enable typographic applications and the evolving forms and uses of rendered texts we explore the meaning of typographic scripts for communities of readers and makers our methodology places typography at the intersection of form making and physical or digital encoding the models and language of specification the technology of experiencing texts the role of visible texts in shaping community identities and notions of
