Saak (2019) movie posters
On this poster, the logo in Dwarka is paired a Latin version set in caps from an unidentified humanist sans (similar to Frutiger). The credits use Lemon Milk, the date is in Daily Mix 3.
Dwarka was used for the logo of Saak (“nuptial”), a 2019 Indian Punjabi-language romantic drama film written and directed by Kamaljit Singh.
Dwarka is designed to work both as a display and body font and sets out to provide a Gurmukhi likeness of Gujarati.
The font has glyphs mapped to both the Gurmukhi range’s standard addresses and also to the ASCII range with a slightly different set of glyphs. The ASCII-range glyphs are all ‘straight-tail’ whereas the glyphs in the Gurmukhi/Unicode glyphs are the ‘curved tail’ variants – being one of the characteristics of the standardised Gujarati that we all see.

The unidentified Arabic font, is actually the Arabic letters from the font Arial,
Thank you, Samrad! I have added Simplified Arabic – that’s the source typeface for the Arabic glyphs that were added to Arial (as well as to Times New Roman).
That isn’t the regular version of Franklin Gothic; it’s ITC or URW’s interpretation, as seen in the forms of a few letters such as the uppercase E.
Yes! Adjusted, thanks.
