Anagha Narayanan is a type designer from Hyderabad, India. From childhood, Anagha has been immersed in art and design, and has vivid memories of her father’s offset printing press. She has always been fascinated by letters, drawing them and collecting them in ephemera like postcards. Anagha is inspired by how type design is so closely knitted with culture and history, and does the task of preserving it graphically. She has interned at Black [Foundry] in Paris, and works at Universal Thirst in Bangalore, where she contributes to the design and development of various Indic typefaces. Anagha is currently preparing for her first typeface release. She is the winner of the prestigious SOTA Catalyst Award, issued by The Society of Typographic Aficionados to people under 25 who have created original work in typography.
