GHW Adhiapak, This is a real-life Gurmukhi handwritten font. It is still highly legible as it keeps largely to the Gurbani style of character production - the sort of style that your teacher would use. However, on the other hand, it turns your machine-produced-looking text into something that a real person would have written, capturing the energy and flow of the writing.
It appears in 9 different weights from Thin to Black.;
