Enter . Created by the legendary Assamese type designer and calligrapher Sarat Borkataki (1926–2018), Rohini is not just a font. It is a digital translation of his life’s work in hand-painted signage and calligraphy. Borkataki spent decades perfecting the visual rhythm of Assamese letters on cinema hoardings, shop fronts, and book covers. When he digitized his art as Rohini, he was doing something radical: he was insisting that a digital typeface could have handmade grace .

For a diaspora Assamese—someone born in Delhi, Bangalore, or New York—downloading Rohini can be a homecoming. Installing that font on a laptop is like bringing a small piece of a namghar (prayer house) into a foreign apartment. It allows them to type “মই তোমাক ভাল পাওঁ” (Moi tumak bhal pao) to a parent and see the words breathe with a familiar, beloved form. The font becomes a digital heirloom.
