Author's note

Lakshmi is a free Devanagari-style display font with a broad, strongly horizontal silhouette. Its continuous headline, deep rounded bowls, and sharp triangular joins give the lettering a striking mix of sweep and tension.

Posters are an especially apt medium for these expansive forms, which can turn a title into a band of ornament across the page. The same qualities suit cultural event graphics, music packaging, and restaurant branding with a South Asian focus. In such settings, the long upper strokes can become part of a border or illustrated banner, letting the lettering contribute directly to the graphic framework rather than serving as neutral text.
