## About Baloo Bhaina 2

Baloo Bhaina 2 is a rounded display family that covers the Odia script together with Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. It belongs to Baloo 2, a project of ten families from Ek Type in which each family joins one Indic script, or Arabic, to a shared Latin design; Baloo Bhaina 2 is the Odia one. In the specimen the Latin strokes are nearly even in thickness and end in rounded tips, and the weight builds from a fairly light Regular to a dense ExtraBold. The family is a variable font whose weight axis runs from 400 to 800, with 5 styles and 1,176 glyphs. The official description credits the Odia letters to Shuchita Grover, Manish Minz and Yesha Goshar, the Latin to Ek Type as a group, and font engineering to Girish Dalvi. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Odia and English headlines**: Odia and Latin share one design, so a bilingual title keeps the same rounded stroke in both scripts.
- **Packaging and labels**: ExtraBold 800 with rounded stroke ends gives a product name a soft, approachable weight.
- **App titles and buttons**: Regular and Medium keep short interface strings light, while SemiBold and Bold mark actions.
- **Posters with a hierarchy**: The 400 to 800 axis lets a headline, a subhead and a caption come from one variable file.
- **Vietnamese and European text**: Latin Extended and Vietnamese letters are included next to the Odia character set.

## Things to know

- **One script per Baloo 2 family**: Baloo Bhaina 2 carries Odia. Other Indic scripts and Arabic live in sibling families with their own names.
- **Variable file only**: The package holds one variable font covering 400 to 800. Static weights are available from the official source.
- **No italics, nothing below Regular**: The family is upright only and its lightest weight is Regular 400.
