Typecraft
Typecraft is a form of graphic design that involves use of craft skills. This form of graphic design was developed by India designer Ishan Khosla. He is concerned to develop a typography that is unique to Indian culture, and recognises its oral traditions. By this means, he hopes to create "typographic forms and designs are rooted in our own culture and hence are unique to us". An example is the banner Khosla designed for the Sangam Project. This was originally developed on computer, but then given to a Rabari embroiderer to interpret in her traditional craft. The final product became the graphic identity. Khosla has also worked with Kaavad makers, Tal Patra (Palm leaf artisans), practitioners of Madhubani art.
