Pramukh Devanagari Variable

Pramukh Devanagari Variable Font Family was designed by Arya Purohit and published by Indian Type Foundry. Pramukh Devanagari Variable contains 1 styles and family package options. Pramukh Devanagari is a very condensed sans serif for the Devanagari and Latin scripts. It ships in two different formats: users can install Pramukh Devanagari either as a single Variable Font or use its eight static OpenType font files. The static format’s fonts offer a large variety of font weights. The eight styles range from ExtraLight through Black. While that offers a fine amount of intermediary steps for creating typographic contrast, users who install the Variable Font instead will have vastly greater control over their text’s stroke thickness. That provides almost 1,000 subtly differentiated font-weight possibilities in a single file, allowing users to fine-tune the appearance text should have on-screen or in print. In terms of its design, Pramukh Devanagari makes use of a very modernist typographic vocabulary. As a result, the typeface is an excellent choice for corporate identity and editorial design projects needing a formal sans serif, especially one whose narrow letters can pack a lot of text into a tight space. Pramukh Devanagari’s styles become less compressed with each step up the weight scale; however, the heaviest weight variants still have visibly condensed proportions. The fonts’ lowercase Latin-script letters feature tall x-heights; their ascenders only rise slightly above the height of the capitals. In the Devanagari script, the fonts’ base characters take up most of the available cartesian space. These are paired with shorter vowel marks. Pramukh Devanagari was designed in-house at ITF by Arya Purohit. In Hindi, the word Pramukh means ‘chief’.
