Neetha Joseph K documents Kerala's hand-painted political graffiti typography in research paper

Neetha Joseph K, a PhD candidate at IIT Hyderabad, has released a study that investigates hand-painted political graffiti in eight districts of Kerala. Titled 'The Visual Voices of Kerala's Politics,' her research delves into the stylistic differences in Malayalam fonts present in these local political expressions. Sparked by her interest in type design, Neetha systematically documented these visual elements. The focus of her study is on the typographic features of political graffiti across Kerala's varied regions. This research offers a formal examination of grassroots political communication through local typography and highlights the informal political visual culture in South India. Neetha Joseph K's work showcases the rich typographic diversity within Kerala's political scene.
