Ombor

           Bangla Typeface

---

Ombor is a Bangla/ Bengali modular typeface built through the free font building website called FontStruct. It is an experimental typeface that explores whether it is possible to create script typefaces modularly like latin typefaces. The inspiration comes from remembering the beginning of Autumn when the monsoon clouds depart to mark the Festive season's advent in Kolkata- Durga Puja. White fluffy clouds float across a stark azure sky; the sparkling sunlight brings in a feeling of excitement and anticipation of the festivities and joys of the following days.
