Detailed Description

The devanagari script saw its peak in the times of letterpress, when elegant complex letterforms were cast and used widely in print and publication. The nature of Indian scripts being different than Roman or Latin, their digitization initially proved to be a tedious task that did not deliver the script in its totality. Recent developments in type digitization, open type font formats, web embedding has ensured the script to be produced in its original richness of form and elements. There has been increasing demand for the digitization of Indian scripts to reach larger number of audiences via several media.
