The lettering was seen by many as an intentional reference to old-school Bollywood posters a subtle nod to Mamdani's Indian heritage. But Aneesh Bhoopathy, the Philadelphia-based graphic designer behind the visuals, said the campaign also drew from the vibrant primary colours that help bodegas, yellow cabs, hot dog vendors and other small businesses stand out amid the city bustle. The stylised font with its drop shadow effect and vintage comic book look was meant to evoke the old school, hand-painted signs that can still be found in some neighbourhoods, he said. Succinctly, it's New York, said Bhoopathy, who previously lived in New York and hel
