Font Project Git Repo URL:

github.com/EkType/Nithya-Ranjana

Super short description of the Font Family:

Nithya Ranjana is a typeface based on the calligraphic Ranjana script. Ranjana originated sometime between the 8-11th centuries in South Asia and is used to write Sanskrit and Nepal Bhasa. It is mainly used for writing Buddhist and Hindu texts and is also used for cultural contexts by the Newar people of the Kathmandu valley in Nepal. It has a rich legacy in manuscript calligraphy, stone inscriptions, wood engravings and paintings, but it has had limited digital representation due to its complexity and lack of Unicode support.

This typeface is currently available in 2 versions

– Nithya Ranjana DU (based on Devanagari Unicode)

– Nithya Ranjana NU (based on Newa Unicode)
