Today, my typeface touched skin for the first time.

A Hoysala inspired Kannada font, once shaped by ancient stone inscriptions, is now part of someone’s identity forever.

From stone to skin.
From heritage to heartbeat.
Typeface still in progress.

Font Designed by Manjunatha R

Proud to preview my upcoming Kannada Unicode font! Inspired by Hoysala stone inscriptions, this typeface brings history into the digital era.

Rooted in history. Built for the future.

@baanaadi This Hoysala-era revival font expresses vowel length (ಏ, ಈ) within the letterform itself, rather than using separate deergha marks. MahaapraaNas are indicated through subtle shape differences (e.g., ಭ slightly open, ಧ closed).
Staying true to the era is important to this revival.

[Akshara Type Studio @AksharaType]

The Hoysala spirit returns — not in stone, but in letters.

A new Kannada Unicode font inspired by our heritage.

Rooted in the past. Designed for the future.

Work in progress...

A new Kannada character “SHRII” has been added in Kannada Unicode v17.0 (U+0CDC)- reviving a historic ligature once used in inscriptions and manuscripts.

The Kannada words “ಔಷಧಿ” and “ಔಷಧಿಗಳು” are rendered incorrectly in this Jan Aushadhi post.

This is an official Government communication incorrect Kannada word is unacceptable. Please fix the Unicode/font rendering and re-upload with proper Kannada word.

Respect the language.
