Panchang specimen from Fontshare

A wide, panoramic display sans from Indian Type Foundry, designed by Hitesh Malaviya and Barbara Bigosińska, with seven weights and a variable axis.

About

Panchang is built around unusually wide letterforms that verge on panoramic, giving it a distinctly industrial character suited to posters, editorial headlines and magazine covers. Lowercase ascenders sit taller than the capitals, and a tall x-height keeps the design open at large sizes. Most terminals end on horizontal or vertical strokes for a clean, technical look, though selective diagonal cuts on letters such as 'C', 'S' and 'g' prevent monotony, and the single-storey 'a' and 'g' add a contemporary touch.

Classification

Fontshare categorises it as Sans, Display. Panchang is a wide, almost panoramic sans-serif with industrial terminals and a tall x-height, designed primarily for display use at larger sizes.
