About


India Street Lettering is home to photographs of street lettering from across the country, with a map where the location of each is marked. Along with this, it features stories about the cultural, historical, other aspects of the lettering; an ongoing series, for instance, is documenting street lettering that has disappeared. India is rich not only in the sheer number of languages and scripts used, but also in the variety of styles and materials in which public lettering exists. Public lettering plays a huge role in how we experience our cities and neighbourhoods. India Street Lettering is an attempt to make a record of this public lettering, both historical and new, and capture the transformations our cities are going through.
