Detailed Description

Packaging is a major sector that uses regional languages in various sizes. Devanagari, being one of the important scripts, is used in small sizes for printing instructions and information on labels. However, the readability in such cases is very low. Out of the available ones specially designed for smaller sizes, the major ones are owned by organisations or not free for commercial use, making brands choose the economical choice of using less readable fonts for the instructions and packaging of the product. The project aims at creating an open-source Devanagari body text font for application in packaging design for sizes smaller than 9 pts (3.175002 mm).
