a TOK 'q' lowercase in the style of Tiro Telugu is a typeface designed for the Murty Classical Library of India book series, so is especially suited to traditional literary publishing but also made with the needs of today’s multiple print and screen media in mind. The design combines the proportions of Telugu manuscript tradition, notably in the generous proportions of subscript letters to aid legibility with the pronounced stroke modulation and shaping of counters and finials inspired by the elegant metalwork of traditional Telugu temples.
