MANTRA Police

Mantra by Shrikrishna Patil is a free non-Latin script-style display font with an unusually strict, architectural build. Its tall, narrow forms repeat squared arches and open-bottomed frames, producing an even procession of upright strokes with almost no modulation.

Posters are its clearest setting, especially for cultural events or experimental programs that can use the lettering as a border-like graphic device. It also suits music packaging and venue signage. In editorial design, the repeated verticals could shape bold section openers or magazine cover lines, linking the typography to geometric rules, panels, and other structural elements.
