India Street Lettering. A Journey Through Typographic Craft & Culture was conceived, compiled, photographed, designed and written by @matratype (Pooja Saxena), based on her years of walking around her home country hunting for new and (mainly) older street lettering for her collection.

The book features over 300 photos from 13 cities on more than 200 pages, grouped by business type (from banks to cinemas and restaurants).

The photographs are clear, straight on, and focus 100% on the lettering. The short texts make you feel you tag along with Pooja on one of her type walks. Sometimes with stories about a neighbourhood, next chapter you’ll run into to a multi-generational sign painting service around the corner.

For those who want to test their perception of colour, I made a little game called "What's My JND"

Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.

Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.

ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy

ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100

ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.

You're okay in my book.*

*not keeping an actual book on you, that's creepy.
