When the whole world was locked indoors due to COVID-19, I got lucky with a rooftop in a new country I had just immigrated to. My love for typography and the need to decolonize my design education brought me to explore my native Devanagari script. In doing this project, I also ended up teaching a Croatian friend of mine how to read and write in Devanagari script.
