Post No Bills is a stencil font family that supports the Latin, Sinhala and Tamil scripts.
|
||
|
|
Post No Bills Colombo includes Sinhala and Latin glyphs while <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Post+No+Bills+Jaffna">Post No Bills Jaffna</a> includes Latin and Tamil glyphs.
|
||
|
|
This font family contains six weights from ExtraLight to ExtraBold to give typographers some flexibility with clear and legible letters that are ideal for headlines and short descriptions that require a strong personality.
|
||
|
|
The design aesthetic is based on letterforms that are commonly seen on railway cars and buses throughout Sri Lanka.

This font family was initially developed as a single weight uppercase only font for use by the <a href="https://sticknobillsonline.com">Stick No Bills Poster Gallery</a> in Galle, Sri Lanka, by Martyn Hodges.
|
||
|
|
In early 2015, the Stick No Bills Gallery commissioned Mooniak to refine and extend the Latin design with wider language support and publish the design as a libre font project.
|
||
|
|
Later that year, Google Fonts supported project by commissioning more weights and expanding the language support even more for all readers in Sri Lanka, Sinhala and Tamil.
