Keynote Address: Experiences in Typography (working title) by Aurobind Patel
Channel: Typography Day
Date: 2015-01-21

A Keynote Address was delivered during the conference on Typography Day 2014 held at the Symbiosis Institute of Design, Pune. Aurobind Patel was a latecomer to typography having strayed into its captivating web during a publishing project while a student at Harvard Business School. This led him to the rather foolhardy move to quit business school to study design. An early revelation in his design education was understanding that the roots of typography lay buried in handwriting and well formed shapes. In 1982 he joined India Today in Delhi and led the gradual process of revising its design while helping a technical team to implement Atex, the first magazine pagination system in the country. He served as the Design Director of The Economist in London from 1987 to 1999 straddling his passion for both design and technology. Back in India since 2000, Aurobind divides his time between design assignments and gazing at forms and counter forms.
