Author's note

Kandy is a free Sinhala script-style display font with broad forms and an exuberantly rounded silhouette. Tight inner spaces and swelling curves make the lettering feel compact and emphatic. Small hooked details punctuate the larger shapes.

Its Sri Lankan script reference suits cultural event posters and regional food packaging. The buoyant forms also fit lively music graphics. Rounded contours can echo illustrated fruit, sweets, or ornamental patterns, making the lettering part of the picture.
