About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Think of this as a type jam — an informal, creative space to explore ideas for Devanagari typefaces.

Led by professional type designer Kimya Gandhi, this session will help you spark ideas for new type designs. From sketching warm-ups to finding inspiration in everyday lettering, sign painting, and historical archives — Kimya will share playful prompts and show how her own fonts got started.

Whether you’re new to type design or already drawing letters, join us for a fun session that will leave you buzzing with ideas.
