I talk a little about not seeing sign painting in India as a monolith, but focusing instead on the peculiarities of a city or even of different neighbourhoods within one. That’s allowed me to see lettering styles and trends with a local lens, and appreciate how much a single sign painter can affect a locality’s visual identity.

One of the examples I share is of painted trucks from Kochi, which strike a unique chord even in a subcontinent known for its truck art.
