Beth Shirrell — Kalakari Display

Beth Shirrell’s beautiful alphabet is full of such amazing detail. In her words:

I explored typographic expression by creating a display font that captures and reflects the ornate culture of India. Specifically taking impetus from the country’s architecture, the ancient art of henna painting, and Hindu iconography. The font is a collection of 26 majuscule forms that make up the English alphabet. Kalakari translates from Hindi to English to mean ornamentation.
