Author's note

Gurmukhi IIGS by IIGS is a free Gurmukhi display font with broad, dark letterforms and a strong horizontal headline. Rounded lower shapes hang from that line, creating a compact band with lively changes in width. Several forms end in hooked or tapered turns.

Publishing gives this lettering a clear role on Punjabi book covers and cultural magazines. Its dense silhouette also suits festival posters and community event graphics. Restaurant branding and food packaging can use the rounded forms to connect names with Punjabi culture.
