It was on this day, February 11 (but in the year 2020) when the WHO finalized the names: COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, but at this point you are more likely to hear the virus referred to as the “weird something” everyone keeps catching.

India Street Lettering book released /// Our very own type designer, author, and lettering artist Pooja Saxena (@matratype.bsky.social) has released her excellent new book, India Street Lettering. 🧵 1/5 #lettering #graphicdesign #signpainting #India #beautiful

Even the monkeys are interested 🐒 You should get your copy of INDIA STREET LETTERING today! www.blaft.com/products/ind...

Today we are packing India Street Lettering books for Kickstarter backers and a troop of monkeys has launched an assault on our mailroom. Chucking used tape rolls at them to keep them away from the bubble wrap 😂

Doing research and writing for a living for over a decade meant that I stopped writing for pleasure. Some time back, I started a blog on my website called Play in an attempt to break this pattern. www.ambersinha.com/play

The book INDIA STREET LETTERING is hot off the press, copies are already shipping to Kickstarter backers, and now it is time to take this show on the road! 📚️🥳 indiastreetlettering.com/india-street... @blaftrakesh.bsky.social

Can't believe Fishbowl is on this amazing Most Anticipated Indie Games of 2026 list! 😻💜

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

One last hurrah for 2025 🥳 I’ve got a photo essay about street lettering in India, and the importance of centering signmakers and their communities in conversations about letterforms in public spaces in this month’s The Caravan caravanmagazine.in/arts/sign-ma...

“India Street Lettering is a warm, thoughtful look at the signs that quietly shape India’s streets... part archive, part love letter and a deeply satisfying record of India’s everyday typography.” Beaming about the feature in The Nod’s roundup of curated cultural finds thenodmag.com/content/nod-...

When you’re making a book, not everything you’d like to include makes the cut. I had to let many signs go while editing India Street Lettering www.blaft.com/products/ind..., and among them were ads for astrologers. To make up, I wrote my small paean to them indiastreetlettering.com/blog/sun-sig...

Since there's been some discussion of font licensing for games lately, @typetogether.bsky.social has the best terms we've found, and their whole catalogue is currently 50% off: www.type-together.com/holiday-disc...

RELEASE DATE: Fishbowl is coming in April 2026! @imissmyfriends.bsky.social just stopped by #WholesomeSnack2025 to share a deeper look at the latest Wholesome Games Presents title. Look into Alo's dreams and memories, and see how everyday tasks impact her journey. s.team/a/1638070

New on the India Street Lettering blog 👉🏽 A ghost sign from Pune, and a blow-by-blow account of how the kind folks on Mastodon helped me uncover what it once advertised indiastreetlettering.com/blog/

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Colonial records indicate that 750 Sikh men attempted to migrate to Argentina in the first half of 1912. Many carried recommendation letters from British officials in Punjab. #Argentina, however, remained unwelcoming. scroll.in/magazine/108... Ajay Kamalakaran writes #historyremembered

Monotype once again giving our whole industry a bad name

The question I hate the most is “What’s your favorite font?”

As we inch ever closer to making the INDIA STREET LETTERING book www.blaft.com/products/ind... a beautiful object everyone can hold and flip through, I’m so darn happy to see a sneak peek being featured in the one and only @creativeboom.com 👉🏼 www.creativeboom.com/resources/wh.... @blaft.bsky.social

"India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology earlier this month released governance guidelines for artificial intelligence, marking the first major regulatory document that has emerged in the country — if one can call it that."

As women we are policed for wearing jeans in India or niqabs and sarees in in the west. People need to leave women’s clothes and women alone. This constant burdening of women anywhere to reject or assimilate to protect cultural or patriarchal insecurities is repulsive.

There’s something magical about a type walk indiastreetlettering.com/type-walks/. I love seeing folks who were curious about typography end our stroll with an appreciation of letterforms grounded in cultural history. Pictures from my new type walk in Mandi House, Delhi that I debuted in September ⬇️

Tonight I’ll be at @letterformarchive.org’s online salon letterformarchive.org/shop/the-pas... to talk about my contribution to their 10th anniversary celebration, which pairs 50 “1”s from the Archive’s collection with 50 new designs. No surprises that my “1” is a “१”, but more at the event 😊

Watch till the end to catch a glimpse of my contribution to @letterformarchive.org’s 10th anniversary celebration. It was such an honour to be invited to participate and be featured among stalwarts, past and present! 😇

In the 1980s, Futura was a typographic voice for activism. A great example was the Guerilla Girls. Interview of the Collective (in French) www.centrepompidou.fr/fr/offre-aux...

I really feel like anyone still on Substack in 2025 is really going to regret it in 2027 when it fully turns into the closed-garden social network it is absolutely planning to be. Learn the lessons of Twitter and Instagram—pay for your platform, otherwise you're the product.

I really do think Ezra Klein needs to be held to account for why he gets to keep his columnist job, as a white man, for saying CK was "practicing politics the right way" while Karen Attiah, a Black woman, loses her columnist job for quoting what CK said about Black women. Someone, plz ask him.
