From the foundry
A single-style, high-contrast, all-caps display sans-serif inspired by hand-painted signage from Kandy's Botanic Garden in Sri Lanka. The typeface embraces painter's hand gestures with unconventional character details including uneven H stem structure and unique M thick-thin dynamics, possibly influenced by Tamil letterforms. Features alternative glyphs, fractions, and small numbers.
