Hmmmm. I’ve having a difficult time appreciating this typeface. The letterforms are stretched too wide. How many characters per line could they achieve with this face? It seems like it would take nearly double the number of pages to typeset text in this font.
Hi Anshuman! Yes this is definitely just for short headlines – chapter titles etc. Really strange that this book chose it to represent Bengali script for new language learners… such stretched and deformed shapes!!
