By multiple request: We are extending the submission deadline for the 13th GRANSHAN Type Design Competition 2023/2024 once until Thursday, 29 February 2024. But there is really only this one-time extension!

Meet our new South East Asia Script Specialists Suppakit Chalermlarp, Tristan Hinkel & Sovichet Tep.

For the 13th time, we are calling out to the world: GIVE VOICE TO TYPE! GRANSHAN is happy to announce that the Type Design Competition is now open. Join the world's only professional competition focused on typefaces covering scripts beyond Latin. buff.ly/3QWdZqc

We warmly welcome Toshi Omagari in his role as Co-Chairperson of the GRANSHAN Type Design Competition alongside Veronika Burian. Welcome to GRANSHAN! #typecompetition #fontcompetition #typedesign #globaltype #identity #culture

We warmly welcome Nino Jishkariani in her role as Script Chair for the new Georgian Script Group. Nino is a graphic designer, artist and author of several books, president of the Association Georgian Font and she has been a professor of Type and Ornament Welcome Nino!

We warmly welcome an exciting new Script Group: With Georgian we are once again integrating a cultural identity characterised by script. We are also expanding the Script Group Thai to include Burmese, Khmer and Lao – and have renamed it to South East Asian Script Group.
