Channel: GRANSHAN Conference
Date: 20/04/2021

Titus is currently running a research project called TypoArabic. The premise of TypoArabic is to investigate historical best practice in Arabic typography in order to inform the contemporary discipline. In this talk, Titus reviews one aspect of Arabic typography: justification. He presents evidence of historical practice and interprets his findings. He then sketches a brief historical overview of the evolution of justification techniques, to review the current state of Arabic justification in digital typography. In conclusion, Titus will outline some potential avenues for the way ahead.
