This Typing App renders ancient Assamese “Garhgayan” writing style as display typeface. It is an experimental project to bring back unique identity to Assamese script by recreating digital representation of ancient “Garhgayan” style. The in-script keyboard also displays the custom designed font to relate with the typing document. One can create, copy-paste, save and edit notes within the app. The keyboard can also be easily converted into device keyboard or to Garhgayan keyboard with shortcut keys shown in the screens.Special characters such as "start matra" and "end matra" has been introduced with dedicated keys in this custom designed typeface to showcase ancient sentence writing style. Conjunct letters can be easily written either by long pressing any keys to select the desired conjunct form or following the standard Unicode format for writing conjunct letter as shown in the screen. Long press the bottom keys to look for more options inside that key. Vowel signs are also clubbed inside the “Aa” kar key at the bottom line.This custom font will work only within this app and cannot be exported to any other app like WhatsApp or Facebook as this project is still in experimental phase.
