Description of the Typeface by the Submitter

The seed of this design lies in a piece of lettering found in a long-forgotten book on an old bookshelf, which was filled with 1960s-70s titles, mostly in Hindi. This typeface explores variable axes in a grid-based modular design space, pushing legibility to the extremes and creating letterforms that can be used beyond text– as patterns, or other graphic elements. It would not be a stretch to say it is the first of its kind in modern Indic Types. At the centre of the design space is a pliable, pixel font. This source stretches into five variable axes and three binaries for inline styles. Presently, the typeface supports the basic Devanagari unicode sets, some (not extensive) support for conjuncts, Marathi and Nepali glyphs, numerals, symbols and punctuation. As it develops– alongside more experiments with the design space, the font will expand to cover Latin diacritics followed by other scripts down the line. Version 1 was published in November 2023.
