MFF Adami . . .

MFF Adami (Miscellaneous Fun Fonts) is the Punjabi take on the popular Adamski font that can still be seen being used in contemporary work, even now - the font is many years old.

The basic font is a bold, Helvetica-style font - here, I have used Gurvetica - and all of the internal curves are angular and straight - as though somebody who wasn't too good at cutting re-entrant curves was give the job of making letters with some thick card and a pair of scissors.

Whilst there is nothing wrong with using the font on its own, as at the top of the page, it is fairly easy to make it stand out and here, I have simulated a variable drop shadow by i-warping a black copy of the letters.

I have also highlighted and darkened the lettering a little to simulate an uneven surface.

Here, you can see how you can modify the default ascii adhak by adding two hash marks after the tilde character so that where there is already plenty of space, you can remove the small piece of bar so that the characters close up together better. You can also do this using the grave character instead of the '~##' but the location of this on the keyboard is not always that obvious - if it is even there. Also, by just adding two hash marks to the tilde, if you decide that it is not what you want, you can easily delete them and get your original adhak.

If you use the grave character, you don't have to substitute it with the tilde to change it back to the adhak with the bit of base line under it, you can simply add two hash marks to that.

Note that you can see that there are normal Latin numbers in the ASCII range as well as the Gurmukhi numbers in their normal place within the Gurmukhi range.

If you are using the ASCII keyboard and need to have the Gurmukhi number characters instead of the Latin number characters, you can access them by adding two hash marks after each Latin number character as you can see in the image on the right.

Also note that there are symbols for Rupee and Euro as well as the regular ones for Pound and Dollar/Cent.

You have the freedom to use these fonts for personal or commercial use although you are forbidden to: charge for them; or, modify and distribute the modified font. If you want something different or even completely new for a specific purpose, email me - see below.

I allow you to use my fonts for free because I believe that morally, everybody should have equal access, regardless of availability of resources - In this way, those who genuinely have not got the money to pay a license fee for a font use can continue to access this resource for free. If I insisted on charging for them for private/non-commercial use then you would be looking at anything from around £50 for a single user.

If you are using the fonts for business purposes, you are not facing bankruptcy and your business model includes paying those that have produced resources that you are using, then you might want to consider making a contribution towards the time, artistic and technological investment that I have made in these fonts as well as the ongoing costs of running and maintaining a production server 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To give you an idea of what the commercial use charges are: the charge for a book is GBP100; and, for a single multinational film production, GBP1,000. Websites are free. If you are paying me for use, or just want to make a contribution, make sure that you send me any details you want to me to publish so that they can go on the contributors' page.
