TYPE SYSTEMS, DESIGN & IDENTITIES WITH KIMYA GANDHI

​About the session:
Join us for an intimate, 1-hour live mentorship session with type designer Kimya Gandhi.

​Designed for a small cohort of 10 creatives, this session is your opportunity to tap into Kimya’s deep craft across Devanagari, Indic, and Latin letterforms.

​Whether you're designing multi-script typefaces, crafting brand identities, or sharpening your design practice, bring your questions to get direct feedback, unpack insights, and discover unexplored possibilities in your own portfolio and work.

About Kimya:
Kimya Gandhi is a type designer from Mumbai, currently living in Berlin, with a passionate interest in Indic letterforms. She is one of the few artists reimagining the Devanagari script through wide- ranging innovative typefaces. 

Kimya co-runs the type foundry, Mota Italic, with her partner Rob Keller where they design custom and retail typefaces for clients worldwide.

​She believes there is great potential to reinvent vernacular typography in India and encourage a new generation of contemporary type design.

​What we'll cover:

​• A brief introduction from Kimya, outlining her background, studio practice, and work with Mota Italic.

• Strategies for maintaining high craft standards across independent foundry work, custom commissions, and personal explorations.

• Direct, candid feedback on your typography, identity work, or creative practice in a private small-group environment.

​Who this is for:
This session is tailored for graphic designers, brand designers, typographers, and multidisciplinary creatives looking to deepen their understanding of multi-script design, refine custom lettering and identities, and sharpen their overall craft.
