Tomiris
by Yingxin Li
Tomiris Serif is a modern typeface that integrates traditional Kazakh motifs (oyu) into its decorative flourishes. It serves as a cultural ambassador, blending geometric elegance with functional design for a global audience.
Starting with limited experience, I drew inspiration from my peers and digital type trends to fuel my process. Through constant sketching and iterative refinement, I transformed these raw concepts into a polished, cohesive typeface.
