In April, I went to the Broadway Book Centre in Panjim to hunt down books about Goa by local historian Vasco Pinho https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Panjim%E2%80%99s-evergreen-story-teller/122031, and was delighted to find that the shop is housed in a building I had visited before to photograph its sign.

The multi-use Ashirvad building has the loveliest metal sign with ribbon-like cursive letters. Not in the best shape at the moment, but still very striking!

Simplification and geometrization of Devanagari has been on my mind lately (psst, TypeTogether’s upcoming, multiscript Futura® 100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmdi2VWVmBY). I’ve been sifting through past examples and this sign stood out.

So many ideas here despite streamlining — the obtuse leaf shaped foundational form, horizontal strokes of ज न standing in visually for the headline, the differentiation of ु ँ. What’s not to love?
