Kimya Gandhi is a type designer from Mumbai, currently living in Berlin. Specialising in designing Devanagari typefaces, Kimya draws her inspiration from India’s rich and diverse visual landscape and hopes to create new and innovative designs for Indic scripts. Kimya is a partner at the type foundry Mota Italic where she along with Rob Keller designs custom and retail typefaces for clients from various parts of the world. Mota Italic has catered to a range of clients like Škoda, Audi, Google, Apple, to name a few.

Other than type, Kimya loves to cook, travel to Italy and make fresh pasta!
