Professor Christopher Shackle and John Hudson consulted on the design. The first project to follow after Devanagari was Adobe Gurmukhi, which I designed collaboratively with Vaibhav Singh in 2012. In approaching this objective, I have attempted to guide designers with whom we have worked to try to harmonize important parameters such as apparent size and color and to try to match style and design details as much as is appropriate. Therefore, I reasoned that it would be prudent to develop a set of design-compatible fonts that would pair well with the existing Adobe Devanagari typeface.

We decided we would first focus on designs optimized for print to support our desktop publishing applications. We on the type development team have made it part of our mission to provide high-quality typographic families to showcase these new language capabilities. The Creative Cloud versions of InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and Acrobat all support the top 10 languages of India. Adobe has been continually improving enablement for Indian languages in our creative applications since Creative Suite 6. The fonts were released with Creative Suite 6 in the spring of 2012.Īlso in 2012, I was tasked with initiating a program to develop an extended set of fonts for Indian languages. The font supports modern Hindi and Marathi languages, and also contains some features to enable basic setting of Sanskrit. The family consists of regular, bold, italic, and bold italic styles. This new approach to a traditional script is intended to counter the dominance of rigid, staccato-like effects of straight verticals and horizontals in earlier types and many existing fonts. Together, these details reveal an original hand and provide a contemporary approach that is clean, clear and comfortable to read whether in short or long passages of text. To achieve a dynamic, fluid style the design features a rounded treatment of distinguishing terminals and stroke reversals, open counters that also aid legibility at smaller sizes, and delicately flaring strokes. The construction of the letters is based on traditional penmanship but possesses less stroke contrast than many Devanagari types, in order to maintain strong, legible forms at smaller sizes. The design was conceived by Tim Holloway and Fiona Ross, Tim being the principal designer of the artwork in collaboration with Fiona and supported by John Hudson. All of these families are currently available for purchase from Fontspring.Īdobe Devanagari was the first of Adobe’s Indian font families, and was designed for Adobe by the team at Tiro Typeworks beginning in 2005. These new type families follow the release of two other Adobe type families for Indian languages, Adobe Devanagari and Adobe Gurmukhi, which have already been available for some time. The designs have been completed with print work in mind, as traditional publishing is still very much a vibrant industry within India. Each of these families consists of two styles: a regular and a bold. Adobe Tamil and Adobe Gujarati were both released over the weekend, bringing the number of Indian writing systems supported by the Adobe Type Library to a total of four. It is with great personal pride and relish that I announce the release of two new Adobe font families for Indian languages.
