Author's note

Kathanakuthugalam by Esselte Letraset is a free South Asian script-style display font with sweeping, intricately looped letterforms. Strong thick-thin changes, curled inner strokes, and long descending flourishes give the text the richness of engraved ceremonial lettering.

It can turn a poster title into an ornamental centerpiece, especially for music and cultural events. Album artwork and decorative packaging are equally apt. Its most convincing role is a lavish cultural event title, where the curled lettering can function as part of the ornament.
