Hind Font Family

Hind is definitely an Open Supply typeface supporting the Devanagari and Latin scripts. Created explicitly for use in User Interface design, the Hind font family consists of five designs. Hind’s letterforms possess a humanist-style construction, which can be paired with seemingly monolinear strokes. The majority of these strokes have flat endings: they either terminate using a horizontal or maybe a vertical shear, instead of on a diagonal. This assists create clear-cut counter forms involving the characters. As well as this, Hind’s letterforms function open apertures. The complete typeface family members feels really legible when used to set text.

The Devanagari and Latin script elements are scaled in relation to one another so that the Devanagari headline falls just under the Latin capital-height. In other words, the Devanagari base characters are 94% as tall as the Latin uppercase. Text set inside the Devanagari script sits nicely alongside the Latin lowercase, too. Hind’s Devanagari vowel marks take types that tends toward the regular finish of the design and style spectrum, though the knotted terminals inside from the base characters feature a treatment that seems additional contemporary.

Manushi Parikh made Hind for the Indian Type Foundry, who initial published the fonts in 2014.

The Hind project is led by Indian Kind Foundry, a type design foundry based in Ahmedabad, India.
