Authentic Hand-Painted Signage and Typography
I create hand-painted signs using traditional brushwork and enamel, not computers. Whether you need Hindi, Urdu, or English typography for a cafe, home, or business, I bring a bold, vintage aesthetic to every surface.

About Vibrant Sign Painting & Typography
Every line you see here is drawn by hand, without a computer. I use high-gloss synthetic enamel paints and layers of shading to give letters that classic 3D pop often seen on old-school Indian cinema hoardings. When you commission a piece, you are not just getting a sign—you are getting a weather-resistant piece of art that carries the authentic texture of brush strokes, not the sterile precision of a vinyl print.
My work is rooted in the traditional sign-painting techniques of Old Delhi, where the skill of the hand decides the quality of the art. I work with a variety of scripts, including Devanagari (Hindi), Urdu, English, and Farsi. Each project begins with a focus on layout and composition, followed by the careful application of enamel paint that is built up to create depth and contrast.
Why Choose Hand-Painted Signage?
Unlike digital signage, hand-painted art ages with character. I use medium-grain cotton canvas, plywood, or wall surfaces depending on your needs. For outdoor signs, I apply a clear varnish coat to protect the enamel from sun and dust, ensuring the colors remain vibrant.
Customization Options
- Typography: I can match various styles, from bold retro block lettering to intricate calligraphic scripts.
- Visual Elements: I often incorporate traditional motifs, such as floral flourishes or stylized borders, to add a personal touch to your sign.
- Versatility: Whether you need a small cafe menu, a large-scale wall mural, or a decorative piece for your home, I scale my technique to fit the surface.
I handle the entire process from my studio in Old Delhi and can ship your completed artwork to any location in India or internationally.
