Gurmukhi charts for a child learning Punjabi, at home, in a gurdwara Punjabi school or in a classroom. One shows the painti akhar, the thirty-five letters in seven rows of five. One shows the six letters with a pairin bindi beside their plain forms. One shows the laga matra signs on ka. You can also type a twist, such as big letters, 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.
