## About Mogra

Mogra is a display typeface covering the Gujarati and Latin writing systems. Its official notes describe letterforms taken from a broad-nibbed marker: the pen keeps a fairly constant angle, while the ink seems to swell at the ends of strokes, and the Gujarati out-stroke is given particular weight. The Latin letters in the specimen follow the same logic. They are heavy and slanted, with blunt rounded terminals, an a and g in simple handwritten forms, and stroke ends that fatten like a pressed marker tip. Counters are small, so the texture is dark. The family has one Regular style and no variable axis. Its 835 glyphs include the Gujarati character set together with Latin and most of Latin Extended. Lipi Raval, who works as a type designer in Ahmedabad, leads the project, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Gujarati headlines**: The weighted out-strokes described in the official notes give Gujarati titles a hand-lettered marker look.
- **Bilingual posters and signs**: Gujarati and Latin share one pen logic, so a shop sign or festival poster can show both scripts in one voice.
- **Food and snack packaging**: Dark, rounded, slanted letters stand out on wrappers and boxes at a glance.
- **Social media titles**: A few heavy words set large hold their shape over photographs and coloured backgrounds.

## Things to know

- **One style**: Mogra has a single Regular cut. It already looks heavy and slanted; there is no lighter, bolder or upright version.
- **Dense texture**: Small counters make long lines dark, which keeps the face to short display settings.
- **Gujarati needs shaping support**: Conjuncts and vowel signs are formed by rules in the font, so software must apply complex-script shaping.
