Author's note

Kautilya from Wordstream is a free Devanagari display font with broad, sweeping forms and a strong top bar running across the letters. Rounded loops and sharp diamond accents give the script a lively decorative edge.

Event posters are its most convincing setting, especially for Indian cultural programs or music performances. The generous curves also suit restaurant branding, festival merchandise, and illustrated publishing with a South Asian theme. Its recurring pointed accents can echo borders, textile patterns, or small ornamental icons, turning the lettering into part of the decoration.
