Lekhak Devanagari Font Family was designed by Parvez Ansari and published by Indian Type Foundry. Lekhak Devanagari contains 5 styles and family package options. Lekhak Devanagari is a casual handwriting typeface designed for the Devanagari script. Its letterforms feature monolinear strokes set at a slight angle. Text set in the typeface leans a bit to the right, giving the feeling that it was both written quickly and that its message moves ahead speedily. Lekhak Devanagari ships in two different formats: users can install a single Variable Font or use the five static Lekhak Devanagari OpenType font files. The static formats stroke weights range in thickness from Light through Bold. While that offers a fine amount of intermediary steps for creating typographic contrast, users who install the Variable Font instead have a vastly greater degree of control over their texts stroke thicknesses. The Variable Font provides almost 1,000 subtly differentiated font-weight possibilities, allowing users to fine-tune the appearance that text should have on-screen or in print. Lekhak Devanagaris casual nature is visible throughout the character sets design. Base-characters strokes often start above the shiro-rekha (headline). Plenty of space is given to the typefaces vowel marks, making them quite prominent in text. Loops and knots all have visible counters inside them (none are completely closed). Some of the counters are explicitly open, with their strokes not returning to a branch or trunk. Lekhak Devanagari was designed in-house at ITF by Parvez Ansari. In Hindi, the word Lekhak means writer.
