| Summary: | Khand is a Devanagari pixel font. The Devanagari script is used to write over 120 languages including Hindi, Marathi and Nepali. It has complex typographical behaviors which produce a very large character set. Due to this, restrictions in printing technology have had a profound effect on the script. Khand is designed for use in dot matrixes where a small grid limits complex shapes, a limitation which often results in missing ligatures or marks which seriously affects readability. Khand is a study on adapting these complex ligatures and marks into a twenty pixel high grid. |
