I’m working with @blaft to bring together my documentation of letterforms from India’s cityscapes into a book — a 200-page hardcover full-colour volume showcasing striking public lettering from around the country.

We need your help to make this book happen 🤝🏼 Our Kickstarter campaign is live. Please chip in, pre-order the book and share the project with everyone you know ➡️ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blaft/india-street-lettering-a-book/
