Rupe is used for the poster of Television (ਟੈਲੀਵਿਜਨ), a 2016 Indian Punjabi-language movie directed by Taj and starring Kulwinder Billa and Mandy Takhar.

The Gurmukhi font Rupe is primarily designed as a display font, although it has the legibility of a body text font as well.

This highly stylised font takes the efficiency of Dukander – eliminating any part of a character that does not help to differentiate it from other characters (such as between ਮ and ਸ) but with the overriding requirement that it is still legible with as little effort as possible – and formalises it into a clean, consistent font.

  1. The Arabic font used for the Urdu text is Arial or Times New Roman which share the same design.

  2. Thank you, Mamoun! I have tagged Simplified Arabic – despite the small differences between this typeface and the version included in Arial and Times New Roman, as you had kindly explained once.
