# README: Fonts
Included in this directory are two fonts, 'Bulara' and 'Noto Sans Gurmukhi'. I include the full distribution of each font, although at present we're only using one file of each. The two fonts are quite different in appearance and I am not certain which is more legible for Gurmukhi readers.
| Font | No of files | Total size | Size used | Licence |
| ------------------ | ----------- | ---------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Bulara | 9 | 1,813Kb | 227Kb | ['free'?](http://www.billie.grosse.is-a-geek.com/resources-03.html) |
| Noto Sans Gurmukhi | 2 | 281Kb | 58Kb | [SIL Open Font License](https://github.com/notofonts/gurmukhi/blob/main/OFL.txt) |
| **Total** | | | 285Kb | |
Having checked on the licence status of Bulara, I'm a little wary of using it; font CDNs that list it say that it is available under GNU General Public License version 2, but its own author's site [says only](https://web.archive.org/web/20250314090506/http://www.billie.grosse.is-a-geek.com/resources-03.html)
> You have the freedom to use these fonts for personal or commercial use although you are forbidden to: charge for them...
