Author's note

Gauri by John P. Yangos of Rainbow Computer Applications is a free non-Latin script-style display font with exceptionally spare rectangular forms. Its nearly uniform strokes create tall open shapes, and repeated right angles give the writing a measured architectural quality. The effect is stark and orderly.

That geometric severity suits museum posters and experimental publishing, as well as packaging and signage built around abstract forms. The open interiors echo window grids, borders, and diagrammatic illustration, turning words into part of a larger system of lines and frames.
