Grandia in fine print.
This post marks the first anniversary of my blog and the end of my year at the University of Reading, where I furthered my education in typeface design via their Masters degree program. It has been a good year and I learned much more than I could have anticipated. To view the results of my work and my classmates’, you can visit typefacedesign.org and view PDF specimens of each of the typefaces, including a group specimen that we had printed up. If 1) you are interested in a copy, and 2) I know who you are, I just might see that you get a copy if you ask very nicely.
Have a look at Grandia and Gandhara and please leave any comments you have on the typefaces here. Thanks for having a look!

Nice work!
I’ve already seen all of the PDF’s on typefacedesign.org and also saw some early sketches of your design on Typophile (my username is Quincunx btw). But I am definitely interested in one of those printed group specimen, to see them in print!
Paul,
Got to the Univ of Reading student typography site through iLT. Then examined and enjoyed your PDF specimen. I recognized the Elmwood area in Buffalo where I am from. I also have an interest in the devanagari script and Hindi — my wife and I expect in to be in S Asia soon involved in Scripture translation there. Your typeface may be helpful and I’ll keep it in mind!
