Picking a cut from four different moods

With four unrelated styles on one page, here's a quick steer on where each tends to fit best.

01

Everyday typing & documents

pg_mansa_5 and pg_mansa_7 keep things clean and readable — a good default when you just need clear Punjabi text fast.

02

Decorative & creative writing

The pg_muskan set's softer letterforms suit invitations, captions, and other creative Punjabi text where personality matters.

03

A traditional, classic look

pg_patiala's three weights give you room to build a heading-to-body hierarchy while keeping a distinctly classic feel.

04

A refined, formal tone

pg_serif_r stands apart from the rest of this page — worth trying for titles or headings that call for something more formal.

Good to know

Legacy fonts vs. modern Unicode fonts

All ten fonts here — Mansa, Muskan, Patiala and Serif alike — are legacy, non-Unicode fonts that map Gurmukhi characters onto custom ASCII key positions.

Modern Unicode fonts Recommended for web

  • Text stays editable, searchable and copy-pasteable everywhere
  • Renders correctly on any device with no font installed
  • Readable by screen readers and indexable by search engines

Legacy fonts This page

  • Tied to a specific keyboard/ASCII mapping — only displays correctly with the matching font installed
  • Still the standard in many printing presses and older DTP workflows
  • Best used for print, not for pasting straight into social captions
Questions

List 21 FAQ

What's the difference between pg_muskan and pg_muskan_p?

They're two related variants of the same Muskan style, each available in two weights (5 and 7) — the "p" set differs in letterform detail from the plain set, so it's worth previewing both against your text.

Is pg_serif_r part of a bigger family?

No — pg_serif_r is a standalone typeface on this page with no numbered variants. What you see in the preview is its only cut.

Which pg_patiala weight should I use for a heading?

pg_patiala_7 carries the most weight of the three and works well for headings, while pg_patiala_3 is lighter and better suited to body text.

Can I download the TTF files?

Yes — each preview card includes a TTF download button alongside HD PNG and HD Transparent image exports.
