Author's note

Gurmukhi IIGS is a free Gurmukhi display font with broad, weighty forms and a strong horizontal headline. Rounded lower shapes, deep curves, and sharply tapered joins give the lettering a lively, sculpted profile.

Punjabi cultural publishing is its clearest setting, particularly festival posters and magazine covers with a celebratory character. It also suits music packaging and restaurant branding, but its most convincing role is in prominent titles that draw on the familiar silhouette of Gurmukhi lettering.
