Letterbox India is an initiative by the type designers at Ek Type, where they sketch and explore Indic letterforms at chai time. It's a fun activity where they explore themes, typecookers and scripts. The explorations lead to multiple outcomes - from casual lettering to entire typefaces. Designers use multiple tools and since the time is limited to 15-20 minutes, the explorations start out fresh and rough. The chosen few lettering pieces are then fleshed out by either digitisation or by refining the handmade sketch. This is what you view on the letterbox page!
Letterbox or chai time is also a fun break where we hang. Discussions revolve around varied topics ranging from the nuances of individual scripts, the evolution of particular skeleton structures to type related jokes!
