Lekha is a Devanagari-inspired typeface. The motivation to create Lekha was for it to serve as an alternative to overly decorative quality Devanagari-style fonts. Instead of blatantly Indianizing Latin characters, it subtly borrows the strokes and curves from Devanagari, trying to mimic its feel and appearance in a more practical, workable manner while retaining the legibility and recognizability of Latin letterforms that we are so used to seeing.
Lekha hopes to find its humble place among the designer’s choice of fonts when he intends to infuse a sense of Indian culture into his work.
