About Ray Devanagari Font Family


Ray Devanagari is a light-hearted family of display fonts. The typefaces used on digital displays inspired its letterforms. As a font family, it includes five variants, each of which shares the same character width, inter-character spacing, and OpenType features. They are each derived from a strict grid. Ray Devanagari One’s letterforms are comprised of dots overlayed on top of a background grid. The font’s Latin-script capital letters, lining figures, and lowercase ascenders are nine dots tall, with a seven-dot x-height. The descenders have two units worth of space available below the baseline. The Ray Devanagari Two font uses squares instead of dots. These all run into each other but still present a pixelated effect on the texts they set. Those squares are rounded off in Ray Devanagari Three, making this style appear like a combination of the Ray Devanagari One with the Ray Devanagari Two font. Ray Devanagari Four adds bridges to the gaps between the grid units visible in Ray Devanagari Three. These rounded elements from Ray Devanagari Four are re-squared in Ray Devanagari Five, making that font look like a cross between Ray Devanagari Two and Ray Devanagari Four. On the typeface’s design. Dhwani Shah collaborated with Satya Rajpurohit, the Ahmedabad-based type designer who co-founded the Indian Type Foundry. Rajpurohit was the mastermind behind the letterform concept found in the original Ray family for the Latin script.
