Bengali alphabet charts: vowels, consonants, kar signs

Bengali alphabet charts — a chart headed "স্বরবর্ণ" of the eleven vowels "অ আ ই ঈ উ ঊ ঋ এ ঐ ও ঔ", each letter large under its matra line in its own box with a small picture, a python for অ (অজগর) and a mango for আ (আম), a cheerful primary-school wall chart, each letter large in its own rounded box with bold clean shapes

Reading 3Kar chart

Bangla bornomala charts for a child learning letters, in Bangladesh, West Bengal or at home. One chart shows the eleven shorborno, the vowels, each with a small picture such as a python for o. One shows the full byanjonborno, the consonants in rows of five. One shows the kar signs, the vowel marks on the letter ka. You can also type a different twist, such as with birds or red and white, and the charts are drawn to that request.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
