Presenting my shortest typewalk yet, titled “ए Dekh ke Chal” This print merges my love for type and walking. Do you read just one letter? Take a few steps and now you know how to say it in Hindi and English!

Have you wondered who makes the hand painted signs and how they go about making something that can shape a whole market place? Or how language interacts with people and lead to funny and strange sounds? Come find out all this and more on a Typewalk this Friday morning in Colaba
