Hind Vadodara Font Family

Hind Vadodara is a family of five Gujarati typefaces, part of the Indian Type Foundry’s larger Hind Multi-Script Open Source project. Hind Multi-Script is a type system that offers nine font families which are stylistically matched. These provide one each for the following scripts used in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka: Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Sinhala. In addition to Gujarati, the Hind Vadodara fonts feature Latin-script characters.

Hind was explicitly developed for use in User Interface design. Its letterforms have a humanist-style construction, with seemingly monolinear strokes. Most of these strokes have flat endings: they terminate with a horizontal or vertical shear more often than they run diagonal.

This helps create clear-cut counter forms between the characters. In addition, Hind’s letterforms possess open apertures and counterforms; the whole family is very legible when set in text.

This font is free for personal and commercial use.
