Latha Font
Author's note
Latha, credited to type director Raghunath Joshi and Vikram Gaikwad of Microsoft Corporation, is a free rounded sans serif built from compact, substantial letterforms. Smooth curves and closely fitted strokes create dense shapes with small inner spaces and simple, rounded joins.
Cultural event posters are a convincing home for this lettering because its broad forms can share the page with strong illustration and bold ornamental patterns. It also suits publishing covers, community signage, and festive packaging intended for audiences who respond to sturdy, plainly drawn type with a warm handmade quality.
