In 2020 I designed Mango, a reverse contrast text typeface, in Latin and Gujarati script. I released it on Future Fonts in 2024. You're reading it at 16px.

I made a font

I recently contributed a design to the Letterform Archive's 10th anniversary campaign, 10x10x10.

Toronto Painting

Sometimes I draw in Procreate.

I like making goopy letters

Rendering complex scripts in digital spaces:

The development of layout and shaping technologies for complex script and language representation and consequent approaches to type design.

I wrote a dissertation in 2020
