Typecast Bombay

The Bombay Type Project, run by sisters Aditi and Brinda Khandelwal, documents old fonts and typography found on city architecture. What started off with the objective of exploring Mumbai, turned into a visual adventure. "One summer morning in 2015, we set out with a borrowed DSLR and a scooter on an expedition to hunt for old typography on building facades. We’d planned to cover a seemingly modest area — Colaba to Fort. Boy, were we mistaken! Each lane led to another, and we found numerous neglected treasures tucked away in obscure gallis which snowballed into this visual documentation. This passion project lies at the confluence of our interests in architecture, photography and typography," says Aditi.

Inducing nostalgia

If you take joy in photographs that document the city in its everydayness, you’d love city-based chronicler, Linesh Desai’s works. From raw portraits that celebrate the people in their natural element to 15-second videos that build a sense of nostalgia about how the city bustled with energy before the lockdown, every frame will have you double-tapping rhythmically thanks to its sheer beauty and design.
