Hi, I’m Roshni.

I'm a graphic designer from Chennai, India, currently based in New York. I hold an MFA in Communications Design from Pratt Institute, where I also worked with the Office of International Affairs. Prior to that, I contributed to Ashvita’s, a cultural space in Chennai.

My work is grounded in an interest in the tactility of handmade objects and analog processes. My visual language and design approach is shaped by experiments in materials and textures.

Typeface Design

Bates Roman is a display font inspired by the numbers stamped by an old Bates Machine (No. 49). The numbers on the machine, in a scotch roman font, had a softness when printed out owing to the filled-in inktraps. These filled-in inktraps become a key characteristic of Bates Roman, giving the typeface a gentle fluidity.
