Detailed Description

Sora Sompeng is the script of Sauras, a tribal group predominant in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Saura mostly uses Odia and Telugu to write their language. This has pushed Sora to the verge of extinction. Recently, a growth of interest in Sora Sompeng shows that there is a scope for reviving and digitizing the script. This project is an effort to analyse and understand Sora Sompeng in order to make a suitable typeface for the script. The focus was to understand aspects of the script, its visual features and the design decisions taken towards achieving this.
