Rupe

Rupe - Primarily designed as a display font, although it has the legibility of a body text font as well, this highly stylised font takes the efficiency of GHW Dukandar - eliminating any part of a character that does not help to differentiate it from other characters (such as between ਮ and ਸ) but with the overriding requirement that it is still legible with as little effort as possible - and formalises it into a clean, consistent font.

The image on the left is produced using Rupe Heavy. The font layer is used as an alpha mask which is filled with an orange gradient and then expanded and filled on different layers with white and black; and then a drop shadow is added to make it stand out from the image (which you will see when you click on the text image on the right). The image itself is from the ਵਿਸਾਖੀ celebrations in Derby (UK) on Sunday 19^th April 2009.

In addition to the normal fonts - ranging from Ultra Thin through to Black, in 10 weights, Rupe also has four weights of border and eight weights of outline font;
