ghwdkm, ghwduk & the karmic set

List 4 crosses three separate Gurmukhi families in one place — sharp ghwdkm cuts, the rounder ghwduk pair, and the five-weight karmic range. Type a line below and see all ten side by side, instantly.

Three Families · One Page

Ten fonts, three different personalities.

Where List 3 was one family stretched across nine weights, List 4 mixes it up — ghwdkm's sharper structure, ghwduk's simpler pair, and karmic's five-step range from light to heavy. Type once and scroll through all of them below.

Three families, ten fonts

Unlike a single stretched-out family, List 4 gives you a genuine style choice — pick the family that fits the mood of your design, then fine-tune within it. Each name below renders in its own font.

Family 1 · 3 cuts

ghwdkm series

ghwdkm_7, ghwdkm_8 and the taller ghwdkmt8 — a sharper, more angular take on Gurmukhi strokes.

Family 2 · 2 cuts

ghwduk series

ghwduk_5 and ghwduk_8 — a compact two-weight pair with rounder, simpler letterforms.

Family 3 · 5 cuts

karmic series

karmic_4, karmic_5, karmic_7, karmic_8 and karmic_9 — the widest range on this page, from a lighter body weight up to a heavier display cut.

Matching font to project

Which family fits your design?

Since List 4 spans three distinct styles rather than one, here's a quick steer on where each family tends to work best.

01

Sharp headlines & logos

ghwdkmt8's taller structure and the bolder karmic weights hold their shape at large sizes — a good fit for titles, logos and hoarding text.

02

Everyday captions & posts

The ghwduk pair's rounder, simpler shapes read comfortably at small sizes, making them a natural pick for social captions.

03

Layered poster design

Because karmic spans five weights, it's well suited to posters that mix a heading, subheading and body line all in one family.

04

Print & DTP layouts

The ghwdkm series' angular structure is a familiar choice in Punjabi desktop-publishing workflows that need a firmer, printed look.

Good to know

Legacy fonts vs. modern Unicode fonts

All ten fonts on this page — across the ghwdkm, ghwduk and karmic families — 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 4 FAQ

Are ghwdkm, ghwduk and karmic related fonts?

No — they're three separate legacy Gurmukhi families grouped on this page rather than variants of a single design. Each has its own base letterforms, so their key mappings aren't interchangeable.

Which family should I pick if I only need one?

Try ghwduk for simple captions, karmic if you need several weights within one look, and ghwdkm for a firmer, print-oriented style — or just preview all ten above and compare directly.

Are these fonts Unicode?

No — all ten are legacy, non-Unicode fonts, so they only render correctly where the matching TTF is installed. They're best suited to print and design software.

Can I download the TTF files?

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