Rajdhani

Designed by Indian Type Foundry

About

Rajdhani has modularized letterforms and supports the Devanagari and Latin writing systems. The squared and condensed appearance may be interpreted as technical or even futuristic. Typically round bowls and other letterform elements have straight sides in Rajdhani. The stroke terminals typically end in flat line segments that are horizontal or vertical, rather than diagonal. Their corners are slightly rounded, giving stroke-endings a softer feeling, rather than a pointy one.

Satya Rajpurohit and Jyotish Sonowal developed the Devanagari component together, while the Latin was designed by Shiva Nalleperumal. To contribute, see github.com/itfoundry/rajdhani

Choosing type

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
