Sometimes chaotic, otherwise tedious — our every day often surfaces as an epithet for comfort. But what propels the daily? Is it a perfunctory wish we wake up to? Is it the creaking of rusty doors and windows, the smell of tempered curry leaves, the shrill gathering at the grocer’s or a kindly smile from a neighbour? Typographer Zeenat Kulavoor says that although everydays can seem tiring, no two everydays are identical. The difference, variety and contradiction of impact in routine actions encouraged the team at Bombay Duck Designs to conceive and create Everyday — a zine series that was first launched in 2020.
