## About BhuTuka Expanded One

BhuTuka Expanded One is a display slab serif with extremely wide letters and a hairline stroke. In the Latin specimen every letter is much wider than it is tall, the line keeps one thin weight throughout, long flat slab serifs sit on the stems, and round letters such as O and C become broad ovals with large open interiors. The curly braces are drawn as wavy lines. The official description gives the purpose in one sentence: the font is a Gurmukhi companion to BioRhyme Expanded Light by Aoife Mooney, so the Gurmukhi character set is its reason for existing and the Latin follows that source. The family is one file, registered as Regular 400, with 604 glyphs, and it is not a variable font. Erin McLaughlin is the designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Gurmukhi and Latin titles**: Both scripts share the wide, thin slab design, so a bilingual heading keeps one texture.
- **Large editorial headings**: A hairline stroke at display size gives a page title a light, airy line.
- **Wide wordmarks**: A short name spreads across a banner or letterhead because each letter is so broad.
- **Posters with few words**: Three or four words are enough to span a sheet at this width.

## Things to know

- **Thin, though named Regular**: The only style is registered as Regular 400, but the strokes are hairlines and need large sizes or strong contrast with the background.
- **Very wide**: The expanded proportions use far more line length per word than a normal-width face.
- **One style**: There is no bold, italic or narrower width in this family.
