Global and Multilingual Typography

Andreu Balius
"I'm a type designer based in Barcelona. You can have a look at my Typerepublic type foundry in order to see some retail & published type work. In fact, if you are looking for Spanish typography, then... That is the place! I am also involved in multi-script typefaces. One of my designs is Al-Andalus, an Arabic script intended for literature purposes. Yes, it was quite a long process of work and was part of my PhD research on Spanish Arabic typography."

The subject Practices and Territories of the Current Design II, coordinated by Anna Pujadas, which belongs to the Master's Degree in Research in Art and Design is presented as a Forum for conferences, workshops and seminars open to the public. The presentations will be carried out by a selection of creators of emerging fields and practices, experts in new trends in the design process. Particular areas that promote the confluence of thought, scientific knowledge, artistic proposals and everyday practices, will be explored. It will also be analysed how these require the revision of concepts in design giving rise to new professional categories.
