India Street Lettering: Type Walk with Pooja Saxena | Panjim, Goa | 7th February | 4 PM Onwards

Join us for a Type Walk in Panjim with Pooja Saxena. She will lead us through Panjim, its signage, and what it can tell us about the city.

The walk is part of the launch of her new book India Street Lettering, published by Blaft Publications. It looks closely at lettering on Indian streets, from hand painted signs to neon, wood and relief work, and what these forms reveal about language, design, labour and everyday urban life. The book also features two sign makers from Panjim, Goa.

Here are all the event details:

Date: Saturday, 7th February 2026
Time: 4pm onwards
Start and end point: No Nasties, Fontainhas, Panjim.

About the Book:

Drawing from over a decade of documentation and research, India Street Lettering is a 200-page hardcover, full-colour book that showcases striking public lettering from across Indian cities in paint, relief, mosaic, neon, wood and more. It brings together photographs, essays and interviews that trace how shopfronts, hand-painted signs and vernacular letterforms tell stories about language, labour, design and everyday life in India’s streets.
