Question

where would you like to have heritage walk and why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Typography Walk, Delhi

In a spin-off to the popular adage, there is a lot to Paharganj that meets the eye. Delhi-based typeface designer, Pooja Saxena underscores that through her typography walk, in which fonts, design and history are explored in this West Delhi suburbs’s main market.  

On the walk, the group is encouraged to identify as many languages and scripts in the shop and building signs around them–surprisingly, there are at least a dozen, including Korean, Bengali, Hebrew, Tamil, among others right in this neighbourhood in Delhi. After that and a round of typography-related bingo,  Pooja takes the group through hand-painted signs and fun stories (like why a the signboard to your dentist’s office is usually in blue or green). Lastly, over snacks, she has a small show-and-tell session with her favourite design books on typography and signs.
