Super excited for our new release – Nithya Ranjana! A typeface based on the calligraphic style of Ranjana script from Nepal. Sponsored by Murali K. Prahalad, Ph.D. Designed by Tathagata Biswas and Noopur Datye (Ek Type) with support from Ananda K. Maharjan (Callijatra)

Nithya Ranjana is a typeface based on the calligraphic Ranjana script practiced in Nepal. Ranjana originated sometime between the 8-11th centuries and is used to write Sanskrit and Nepal Bhasa. It was mainly used for writing Buddhist and Hindu texts in South Asia and is also used for cultural contexts by the Newar people of the Kathmandu valley in Nepal. It has a rich legacy in manuscript calligraphy, stone inscriptions, wood engravings and paintings, but it has had limited digital representation due to its complexity and lack of Unicode support.

The challenge in creating the Nithya Ranjana font was to strike a balance between Ranjana's heritage and contemporary requirements. Apart from vowels, consonants, numerals and punctuation marks, Nithya Ranjana supports 750+ unique conjuncts used in Nepal Bhasa, Sanskrit and Pali. It includes an additional 500+ character-specific matra forms and matra-specific character forms to correctly and elegantly represent its many unique combinations. It has four stylistic sets, one each for alternate conjuncts and above base matras, and two for 40 Kutakshar forms (monogram-style word marks) making it ideal for historical and contemporary usage.

The Ranjana script does not have Unicode support to date. Hence, this typeface is currently available in 2 versions – Nithya Ranjana DU (based on Devanagari Unicode) and Nithya Ranjana NU (based on Newa Unicode). We hope to update it to Ranjana Unicode as and when the proposal for Ranjana Unicode is accepted.

This project was initiated and sponsored by Murali K. Prahalad, Ph.D. His interest in helping create a modern font for Ranjana is deeply linked to his passion for preserving the world’s Sanskrit heritage for future generations by ensuring the successful transition of Sanskrit into the digital world. He has a keen interest in scripts that facilitated the spread of Sanskrit literature and knowledge across Asia. This font is named after his eldest daughter Nithya, for whose generation he hopes to preserve this tradition.

Nithya Ranjana is designed, engineered and maintained by Ek Type, India with support from Callijatra, Nepal. Key contributors of this project are Tathagata Biswas (Type Design), Noopur Datye (Type Design), Ananda K. Maharjan (Script Expert) and Sarang Kulkarni (Project Management).

"These works depict a dark aspect of human psychology and truly. universal issues related to gender-based violence and the representation of women's bodies." - Tayeba Begum Lipi

At first glance, Tayeba Begum Lipi's sculptural works seem almost wearable until you get close and see her provocative choice of material- razor blades. The stiletto shoes and the child-size dress speak to global concerns of violence against women and gender inequity. With their armour-like appearance, the items of clothing also challenge the objectification of women and patriarchal systems of control.
