take a gander at pooja saxena’s india street lettering archive

By

There’s a particular type of beauty that can be found in the fading street signs of yesteryear. Shutterbug and typography boffin Pooja Saxena understands this as much as anyone, having dedicated the last decade to documenting, organising and geo-tagging a crapload of public lettering in cities and town all across India. From carefully hand-painted street signs to meticulously constructed shopfronts, Pooja’s eye for the often-overlooked details captures extraordinary visual histories in ordinary places. Feast your eyes on the archive on Pooja’s website.
