Author's note

Songket by Cenz Qobbal is a free decorative display font built around dense, repeating woven ornament. Its broad capital forms are filled with interlocking circles and curved diamond-like details, giving each letter the intricacy of patterned cloth. Strong outer contours keep the elaborate interiors organized and make the alphabet feel architectural rather than delicate.

Designers working with textile, craft, or Southeast Asian cultural themes could use it for festival posters, fabric labels, and exhibition graphics. The repeating motif also suits decorative packaging and music artwork, where the lettering can become part of a larger field of geometric pattern rather than serving as neutral type.
