Notes from Typoday 2019

Typoday 2019 was held at IDC School of Design at IIT Bombay from 24 March 2019. I took
notes on some of the talks given at the event and since a lot of people asked me to give
them a copy, I’m sharing them here. I wrote what I could fit on a single page, please look up
the original works by the authors for more details!
