Maria Theresia, tactile educational typeface for blind, since 2016
Based on Klein’s type created in 1810 Maria Theresia is not aiming to be braille substitute. Its purpose is to support the process of learning letterforms by blind people. The type system offers separate cuts for different sizes: smaller for reading, bigger for learning the lettershapes, where their construction can be observed in details. Some of the pictures present typeface application in educational materials reproduced in the technique of thermoforming or embossing on paper. Educational materials designed and produced by studio Tyflograf.
