One series, five weights, page 27

Dekho is the simplest page in the collection to browse — no sub-groups, no naming quirks, just five clearly numbered cuts moving from lighter to bolder. Each name below renders in its own font.

Lightest

dekho_1

The lightest cut in the series — still built for headline-scale text rather than paragraphs.

Light-mid

dekho_3

A step up from dekho_1, useful when the lightest cut feels too thin for the layout.

Mid

dekho_5

Sits at the midpoint of the series — a reasonable default if you're not sure which weight to start with.

Bold-mid

dekho_7

A heavier cut for titles that need to stand out clearly against surrounding content.

Boldest

dekho_9

The heaviest cut in the series, built for the biggest, most attention-grabbing headline text.

Matching weight to project

Where each Dekho cut tends to fit

Since the whole series is built for headline-scale text, the main decision is simply how much visual weight the moment calls for.

01

Subtler titles

dekho_1 and dekho_3 work well when you want a headline that doesn't overpower the rest of a layout.

02

General-purpose headlines

dekho_5 is a solid middle ground for most poster titles and section headers.

03

Strong callouts

dekho_7 suits promotional banners and callouts that need to pull the eye without going to full extreme.

04

Maximum impact

dekho_9 is the cut to reach for on a cover, thumbnail, or anywhere a single word needs to dominate the frame.

Good to know

Legacy fonts vs. modern Unicode fonts

All five Dekho cuts on this page are legacy, non-Unicode fonts — each maps Gurmukhi characters onto its own set of ASCII key positions rather than following the Unicode standard.

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
  • Common in poster and headline design files, less so for body copy
  • Best exported as a flattened image for use outside a design tool
Questions

List 27 FAQ

Is List 27 really the last page?

Yes — this is the final page in the collection. The pagination above links back to List 26 or straight back to the homepage to start browsing again.

Which Dekho cut should I start with?

dekho_5 is a reasonable default if you're unsure — it sits in the middle of the series, with dekho_1/dekho_3 lighter and dekho_7/dekho_9 bolder.

Are Dekho fonts suitable for body text?

Not really — like most fonts on this site's later pages, Dekho is built for headline and poster-scale text rather than long paragraphs.

Can I download the TTF files?

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