Hi

I'm a graphic design gal interested in Indian culture and am hoping to someday create some Indic typefaces. I am learning Hindi right now, trying to familiarize myself with the forms and patterns of Devanagari. In order to get a better understanding of the typographic culture of the Hindi language, I've decided to start collecting samples of Devanagari type. It'll be a while until I can travel to India and see some in the flesh, but I know there are a bunch of amazing images to be found on the good ol' internets.

I hope to someday think of a satisfactory way to categorize my finds, but for now I'm going to use the first descriptive words to pop into my head, and make a bunch of tags for each post. Let me know if you know of a better way!

Anyhoo, here it goes!
