Devanagarish

by Tamon Yahagi · Website

Devanagarish is a decorative display face by Tamon Yahagi that shapes Latin characters to mimic the visual structure of Devanagari script, with distinctive horizontal top bars and curved strokes that echo Hindi and Sanskrit letterforms. It's a novelty face through and through, designed for headlines, posters, and themed projects where an Indian cultural aesthetic needs to come through at a glance. Readability takes a back seat to atmosphere here, so it works best at large sizes and in short bursts.
