Font Adaptation Workshop: Harmonizing Georgian and International Typefaces

Graphic and brand designers, students, and anyone interested in typography, type design, or font engineering are invited to a two-day practical workshop where we will learn how to create a high-quality Georgian adaptation in the style of an existing Latin typeface.

During the workshop:
● we will explore the fundamental principles of type design;
● examine how a multi-script typeface functions as a system (proportions, contrast, rhythm, “voice”);
● analyze real examples and common mistakes in Georgian adaptations;
● then move to practice: based on a selected Latin typeface, we will construct Georgian letters and develop a working Georgian version in Glyphs.

The workshop will be led by Akaki Razmadze and Aleksandre Charkviani — designers with experience working with Google, Monotype, and Typotheque.

Participants should have experience working with vector software; prior knowledge of Glyphs is not required.
All participants will be provided with equipment and Glyphs licenses (with the support of Glyphs).

📍 Location: 10 Merab Aleksidze St., Georgian-American University (GAU) building, ground floor
🗓 Date/Time: February 21–22, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
