About this work
Nipa Doshi’s debut typeface translates her design sensibility into letters, numbers and symbols that function as both communication and composition. Each character is conceived as an object, recalling the precision of engineered machine components or fine jewellery, reflecting Doshi’s admiration for functional and decorative objects crafted with purpose and precision. The typeface evokes two-dimensional architectural plans and diagrams, extending Doshi’s spatial thinking into graphic form. For Doshi, typography is an egalitarian medium, a tool that others can use to create and communicate.
