Author's note

Lipi, created by Proshika Computer Systems, is a free Bangla display font with an ornate, strongly modulated stroke style. Broad horizontal headlines stretch across the characters, and rounded loops meet sharp tapers to produce a formal, decorative texture.

It suits Bangla-speaking audiences looking for expressive lettering in cultural event posters, book covers, and music artwork. The generous curves and extended upper strokes also make it useful for magazine mastheads, where the type can give the publication an unmistakably ornamental voice.
