Description

A display typeface family comprising of Bangla, Devanagari, Odia and Latin Each typeface for each script has been designed keeping in mind the inspiration of drawing letters for wall graffitis in Bengal, India, by using a stick and tar. The forms have blobby blackness to it and have been designed for mostly display purposes. The design and idea has been spearheaded by Suman Bhandary. The Latin has been crafted by Lewis McGuffie. Special thanks to Nehal Mathews and Lopamudra Bose for their assistance in Odia and Devanagari. To contribute, please see github.com/suman51284/Alkatra .

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
