Further Reading Zine Series: The Southeast Asian Types No.1

While Southeast Asia is often neglected in discussions related to type design, the region possesses diverse and complex writing systems shaped by the interconnected yet unique histories of its nations. At present, the region’s own distinct circumstances give way to the emergence of vernacular typographic practices that are informed by tradition as much as the future. This Risograph publication from Indonesian publisher Further Reading presents a method to bridge connections within this creative ecosystem, aiming to highlight typography practices within the region so they can flourish in a broader cultural and global sphere. Includes essays, interviews, as well as brief introductions to an array of typefaces.
