Why are there different ways to write ध भ ख ? Most early Devanagari fonts were cast to resemble traditional calligraphic forms – but in the mid-1900s, there was a push to make these letters more legible in printing. Read more on our Instagram post: instagram.com/fontwala/
Why make italics for Kannada, when they are foreign to the script? @alolita & @a_srinidhi asked an important question about Latinization. Here's my short reply. I am planning to make Indic script typesetting educational materials in the future and hope others do, too!

An unfinished idea from a few years ago – a low-contrast design based on the shapes and proportions of a tall, narrow metal typeface from an old book. Worth finishing? #devanagari #typeface #font #typography #hindi #हिंदी

@Fontwala @sridatta_a @n__goyal @HindiRinny @anshumanpandey_ @itfoundry We ended up putting our client in touch with a @keyman developer who could make a Hindi keyboard that takes visual input order and converts to correct, phonetic Unicode order as one types.
@Fontwala @sridatta_a @n__goyal @HindiRinny @anshumanpandey_ @itfoundry We foind that input was a major issue in trying to get an Indian design agency to use Unicode/OpenType fints. The legacy fonts tend to use visual input order, not phonetic, so users had corresponding keyboard habits. They were very resustant to hsving to change these habits.
@Fontwala @sridatta_a @n__goyal @HindiRinny @anshumanpandey_ @itfoundry Most users don't really know or care how text is encoded and displayed: they only know and care how they type it. If you can provide sufficient flexibility in keyboard layouts and behaviour, the transition from legacy font encodings to Unicode will be much easier.
@Fontwala @n__goyal @HindiRinny I remembered @anshumanpandey_ 's tweet on this. I haven't seen a single book printed using a Unicode font in Kannada as of now. Also AFAIK only Prajavani newspaper (printed) uses Unicode fonts ( along with ASCII fonts) which were designed by @itfoundry. x.com/anshumanpandey…
@TiroTypeworks @KLTF My guess is that the vast majority of Hindi publishers and compositors in India still use legacy fonts.
@hhpapazian @a_srinidhi @alolita @Fontwala It's a prejudice I've seen against monolinear devanagari also. But it only lasts till someone pulls it off well. Culture doesn't just reside in the past. It includes today's practices as well.
