Author's note

Ranjani by Ethno Multimedia is a free Tamil display font with dramatic thick-thin contrast and broad, looping forms. Its slender verticals, rounded inner shapes, and deep curling strokes give the script an elegant, highly decorative profile.

The lettering can lend cultural specificity to festival posters and publishing, yet its sweeping silhouettes also suit album covers and textile branding. Repeated arches and circular turns complement ornamental borders or patterns drawn from the same curves. It is most convincing when the Tamil lettering itself becomes the main decorative element.
