Cheithi Regular Font

Cheithi by Selliah Selvaratnam is a free Tamil display font with an emphatic, highly stylized profile. The letters combine broad, dark strokes with hairline joins, deep loops, and unusually open circular forms, producing a lively sequence of dense shapes and airy gaps.

Its sweeping curves and enclosed loops can echo the rounded geometry of illustrations and border patterns, making the font a strong fit for festival posters, cultural publishing, and music artwork. Designers addressing Tamil-speaking audiences can also use its distinctive forms in restaurant branding and event graphics, especially when the lettering is meant to become a decorative feature rather than neutral text.
