About
Originating from a typeface created for the Murty Classical Library of India, Tiro Kannada draws inspiration from historic Kannada types and features generously proportioned subscript letters for enhanced legibility. It includes both normal and italic styles and supports Kannada and Latin scripts with extended character sets for transcription purposes.
Overview
Tiro Kannada is a serif font family tailored for classical and literary publishing, combining historical influences with contemporary usability across print and digital media. Its design references 19th-century Basel Mission Press types, 1930s Gujarat Type Foundry ligatures, and dynamic stroke angles from 20th-century Kannada textbooks. The family includes a complementary italic style and extended Latin characters for transcription of Indian languages, making it versatile for multilingual contexts.
