About
Created originally for a project promoting Bhutanese culture, Boutan translates visual qualities of the Chhokey script into a Latin alphabet with distinctive interlocking letterforms. The family comprises Regular and Italic, available in OTF and WOFF2 formats, with ISO Latin-1 coverage. Its ornamental character makes it most effective at display sizes where the letterform connections can be appreciated.
