Author's note

Shymal01 by Shusha is a free Bangla display font with broad, dark forms, a strong horizontal headline, and dramatic changes between thick curves and fine joining strokes. Hooked endings keep the dense silhouette lively.

Poster campaigns are its most convincing role, since the weight and large interior shapes bring force to Bengali cultural events and music artwork. Publishers and independent brands can also draw on its emphatic forms for book covers and food packaging, especially when addressing Bangla-reading audiences who know the script well and will appreciate how its familiar structure has been pushed toward a more decorative, theatrical image.
