The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

/* Please select at least one weight and style */ Background & Story
Langar is a one-weight Latin/Gurmukhi display font based on informal, playful letterforms. It broadly follows the ‘upright-italic’ style of Latin fonts, experimenting with and introducing a similar style for the Gurmukhi script.
Langar’s harmonised Latin/Gurmukhi design aims to expand the possibilities for both the general user and the specialised designer working with bilingual texts by providing a good quality display option.
The design specifically caters to characterful display at larger sizes, providing a contrasting secondary style to most text typefaces generally available for Latin/Gurmukhi texts.
