Some snaps from the Maldives Expo ✨

Over the past 9 days at the Akuru Type Marketplace stall, we met incredible people — from industry pioneers to young creatives curious about Dhivehi type design.

We also had the chance to showcase some of the amazing designers behind our fonts, share sneak peeks of upcoming releases, and even walk a few visitors through how fonts are made.

A beautiful reminder of how alive and growing our akuru scene is.
