akhand devanagari by sanchit sawaria from india

Akhand Devanagari is a family of compact mono-linear typefaces. The letterforms are dynamic; typically
round shapes appear more compact, as their verticals have been flattened. This ‘straightening out’ gives text set in the typefaces a streamlined look. Indeed, Akhand Devanagari is designed according to a modular system. All shapes bear a strong commonality to each other, without becoming repetitive. However, the curves in the modules have all been optically corrected, removing the mechanical nature that would otherwise become too dominant. This typeface is a breakthrough in the field of Indian Graphic Design and print. The lack of a hardworking headline typeface served as inspiration to give Indian design a voice of its own.

The family includes 16 font styles. This broad range of weights makes combinations with a strong degree of contrast possible; the lightest and the heaviest styles may be mixed to create a powerful effect in your design. Each font style contains 892 glyphs, offering full support for conjuncts and ligatures.
