March 28th | Drawing Vietnamese Diacritics with Thy HÃ
In this session we’ll be speaking with Thy Hà about Drawing Vietnamese Diacritics, one of the most complex diacritic systems in the Latin script. We’ll explore the nuances of designing Vietnamese diacritics, from structural considerations to ensuring clarity and legibility across different type styles. We'll also dive into broader questions: How do diacritics shape the reading experience? What are common design pitfalls? And how can type designers better support Vietnamese language?
