Zeenat Kulavoor is a Typographer + Graphic Designer based in Bombay, India. She works with multiple Indian scripts and specialises in Urdu type, lettering & calligraphy.
She believes that the Urdu script has endless creative possibilities and intends to change the perception towards the use of Urdu in India - which currently is widely perceived to be limited to religious usage. Using tongue-in-cheek humour and wit, combined with the use of scale, different mediums and varied print making methods, Zeenat is working towards reinventing possibilities of how the script can be a part of regular day to day life.
Apart from her typography work, she is the Creative Director at Bombay Duck Designs and runs a small design shop called BombayDuckShop that sells select books, zines, prints and objects that blur the boundaries between illustration, art & design.
