Designed by Ashish Kumar
Braah is a display font that perfectly blends boldness and playfulness. The font is available with corresponding Latin/Gurmukhi scripts, making it versatile and adaptable to different languages. Braah was designed by India-based typeface and UX designer Ashish Kumar.
An update in May 2023 corrects the original vertical metrics, which may impact line spacing in some layouts.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
