Universal Thirst is a type foundry that specializes in Indic and Latin scripts. It was set up in 2016 by designer and engineer duo Gunnar Vilhjálmsson and Kalapi Gajjar, who draw on their contrasting visual heritage to offer a unique, dual perspective on type.

Universal Thirst creates distinctive retail and bespoke typefaces tailored for both local and international brands, particularly those doing business in South Asia.
