India Street Lettering zines celebrate the diversity of letterforms on signages in India’s streets. Like turns of a kaleidoscope, they illuminate patterns — established and unexpected — to expand our understanding of typographic forms and styles, and conventions for their use.
For the last decade, I’ve been working slowly and steadily to create a visual record of public lettering in the country over on India Street Lettering. This summer, I’m taking the plunge to turn my typographic discoveries and theses into honest-to-God printed matter: pint-sized, self-published zines that each centre on a tiny sliver of public lettering in India, catalysed by a medley of influences such as material, script, location, function and historical context.
I hope you’ll pick up a copy for yourself, or for a friend who loves typography. Your support will mean the world to me.
