About Hind Guntur

Hind Guntur is a sans serif family for the Telugu script with matching Latin letters, part of Indian Type Foundry's multi-script Hind project. The letters follow a humanist skeleton but keep strokes that look nearly even in thickness, and most strokes are cut flat, horizontally or vertically, which leaves clear spaces between neighbouring characters. Apertures are open, as the c, e and s in the specimen show. The official description says the family was made for user interfaces and is named for the city of Guntur, where Telugu is used. There are five static weights: Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold, with no italic and no variable file. The 890 glyphs cover Telugu, Latin and Latin Extended. The font's name table credits Manushi Parikh and Hitesh Malaviya, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Hind Guntur works

Apps and sites in the Telugu script

The family was developed for interface design, with flat stroke endings and open counters that keep small Telugu text clear.

Interfaces that mix Telugu and English

Latin letters are built into the same files, so mixed-script labels share weight and proportions.

Text on embedded and electronic displays

The official description recommends Hind Guntur for electronic display embedding, where monolinear strokes render cleanly.

Forms, settings and dashboards

Five weights from Light to Bold separate field labels, values and headings without a second family.
