PG Khanna . . .

PG Khanna is based upon Gurvetica but its outline is made of short, straight sections and the end of lines widen out.

A number of times that fonts have been used in books and films is that the bar has been extended well beyond its normal limits so here, I have provided end cap glyphs so that the bar ends can look the same.

Like other fonts, the underscore also has a small part of the bar on it so that you add some wherever you need to. The underscore bar has parallel sides so that you can use the tracking on your image processor to change the length down to the order of pixel precision.

1. On the right, you can see the text on its own;
2. This one has the end caps on it. The end caps are the keys '{' and '}' which are sufficiently redundant for them to be sequestered for this purpose;
3. Here, underscores have been added before and after the text, thus extending the bar a little;
4. This just demonstrates that the underscore can be added anywhere although if you are using the Unicode glyphs, you can only add the underscores between syllables;

You can see from the image on the right that the font outlines are made up from short straight lines. The Book and Bold fonts have the number of points in a given length that is approximately twice that of the Semi-Bold font therefore, you can use the Semi-Bold font at half or even a third of the font size of the other two and it will match the level of detail.

In effect, the viewer's eyes look at fonts like this as a regular font that has had an effect applied to it. By using the font with half the number of points in a given length at a size that is around half the size of the other fonts, your mind subconsciously applies the same scale of filter to it and the two fonts look as though they are in the same environment - simply using the same font at a smaller scale looks wrong in comparison.

You can see an example of this in the image below...

The 'PG Khanna' font family in 'normal cut length' is provided in Book and Bold weights and with double the length in 'Coarse' Semi-Bold weight.

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.
