Qualities, concepts and considerations required to create a unique Māori identity for a typeface
This research has been driven by the frustrations experienced as a visual practitioner, with the lack of relevant and well-designed Māori fonts that are available for use within current Māori design practice. With this in mind, the intent behind this project was to explore the visual qualities of both traditional Māori art forms and printed text, in order to combine these and develop a range of fonts that display characteristics of authentic Māori forms, without being too obvious or tokenistic.
Researcher: Andre Te Hira, Design Degree Lecturer
