Author's note

FM Abhaya X by Pushpananda Ekanayaka is a free Sinhala script-style display font with broad rounded forms, sweeping curves, and marked changes in stroke width. Compact loops and pointed teardrop details sharpen its otherwise circular construction.

A cultural festival poster is a convincing setting for lettering this decorative and fluid, especially when the design draws on Sri Lankan language and arts. Its distinctive silhouettes also suit book covers, music artwork, and restaurant branding centered on Sinhala language and culture. In illustrated work, the curling forms can echo vines, waves, or ornamental linework, so the text becomes part of the picture instead of a separate caption.
