Cyrillic version of Jaipur font
Cyrillic version of Jaipur font, stylized for India's Devanagari alphabet.
The font does not have symbols for numbers, brackets, arithmetic signs, etc., but there are basic punctuation marks, so use Jaipur only for Cyrillic titles and logos.
There are very few fonts made in Hindu style for Cyrillic alphabet. In most cases, designers use an awful font DS Izmir.
Izmir imitates Devanagari so bad, and it is completely different from how modern signs and advertising posters on the walls are written in India.
There are a few good fonts in Devanagari style for Latin alphabet. One of them is Jaipur by Vic Fieger. Now this font has gained Cyrillic characters, which are available for free use.
All headings in my stories about India are written with Jaipur.
In the Latin version, characters “e”, “z”, “j”, numbers “8” and “0” are the most peculiar.
The Cyrillic version has standard lowercase letters "м" and "т", a complex and intricate letter "б", stylish "ж" and "я".
With Jaipur, it is best to write in the way they do it in India on homemade advertising signs: vivid colors, shadows, strokes for letters.
Should look like this:
Use cases
So far, I know just one example of font usage in real-life. This is the sign of the Dkhaba restaurant at the Belorusskaya metro station in Moscow. Looks great.
