रसीले fonts, रसीली life!

Originally inspired by TypeTogether’s logotype, Bree Latin launched in 2008 and was an immediate triumph. Now a team led by Pooja Saxena has interpreted the design in Devanagari. This latest extension matches the meter of the established scripts by echoing handwritten gestures and gentle strokes, and building upon a foundation of narrow but even horizontal proportions.

Bree Devanagari will prove incredibly useful in multiple situations. Its warmth and memorability make it a perfect choice for logos, packaging, and signage for brands that speak from the heart and build communities. At the same time, Bree Devanagari’s compact proportions across weights are ideal for headlines in mobile apps, newspapers, and online magazines, where space is at a premium but personality is no less important.

Bree Devanagari also features many closed shapes, such as the ikar and iikar matras, which are fashioned as a nod to the recognisable penmanship evoked in the Latin lowercase g, k, y and z: two scripts written by the same hand. Like any professional Devanagari typeface worth its salt, the design includes regional letter variants that cater to Hindi and Marathi readers. Five base consonants, ख ग र स ल, and over one hundred and fifty of their derivative forms, from half letters to conjuncts, also come in two alternates that can transform Bree Devanagari from spirited to restrained in both languages.

Bree Devanagari can be purchased under a perpetual license directly from TypeTogether, including for web fonts and use in applications such as games and mobile apps.
