Punjabi Shayari In Punjabi Font Biography

source(google.com.pk)
When you read text on a page, one level of consciousness has to work out what the letters are; passing that on to a higher level that works out what each word says and then passing this on to higher levels of consiousness to work out the meaning. At some point, this process breaks into the conscious levels of thought but the more of it that can remain within the subconscious levels of thought, the easier it is to glean information from the text - ie, the easier it is to read.
  • A font that is difficult to read requires processing of the first stages to be done at a higher level, possibly even at conscious levels if the font is really bad - requiring more thought processing - and thus reading it is slower and more thought intensive.
  • A font that is verly legible, allows the first levels of processing to be done at the subconsious level, thus leaving the conscious levels to process meaning. This is acheived in fonts by having consistent features thoughout the font such as consistent: weight; curves; end-of-line features; letter-part features; and, so on.
This is what Gurvetica tries to do but as a result of having Roman text exist in the same body text and be consistent with Gurmukhi text, some things have to be slightly different from our Grotesque, Swiss friend.
Gurvetica is designed to have high legibility - in a similar way to the popular font Helvetica, hence the name* - but in the context of Gurmukhi text. As a result, rather than being just a clone of Helvetica, it differs from Helvetica in some areas such as: deliberately not complying with Helvetica's 'only horizontal- or vertical-ends of letter lines' simply because doing so makes Gurmukhi ugly; deliberate monolinear design for higher legibility; and, font sizes 'growing' from central lines because they are based on the bar rather than fitting between two lines. These give it better legibility.
The font comes in two types: 'Gurvetica' and 'Gurvetica A'. You can have both installed at the same time and they will co-exist without any problems. However, if you just want one, you need to know the differences.
Do I want 'Gurvetica' or 'Gurvetica A'?
In the UTF-8 Gurmukhi range, both fonts are identical. However, they differ in what they do with the ASCII range...
Gurvetica has Roman characters in the ASCII range of the font and Gurmukhi in its own range - something that has been standard since Windows XP.
This means that you can mix Roman and Gurmukhi text in the same paragraph and keep a consistent appearence using just one font.
The Roman characters match the weight, height and width of the Gurmukhi characters in the font.
Gurvetica A has Gurmukhi characters in the ASCII range.
This font allows you to use it on older pieces of text that haven't been updates and still use the ASCII range for Gurmukhi characters.
However, this means that if you want Roman text in there, you need to use a different font.
In addition, Gurvetica (with Roman characters) comes in a variety of widths whereas Gurvetica A only has the medium width.
Why Roman characters ? . . .
In newspapers and other media where a mixture of Gurmukhi and Roman characters become necessary, you often see fonts that just don't fit.
Existing practiceUsing Gurvetica
On the left, you can see a reproduction of an example from an exam paper where the Roman text font just doesn't fit in at all. The style (serif instead of sans serif) the size, weight, alignment and so on are all wrong. On the right, you can see that when using Gurvetica, these attributes do match the Gurmukhi font.
Again, with numbers, this time, on the left, you can see a reproduction of an example from a newspaper where the Roman numbers font just doesn't fit in at all. Again, the style (not monolinear) the size, weight and so on are all wrong. Again, on the right, you can see that when using Gurvetica, these attributes do match the Gurmukhi font.
