About Rajdhani

Rajdhani is a sans serif family with modular, squared letterforms that covers both Latin and Devanagari. In the specimen the bowls of o, d and p have straight vertical sides, the letters are narrow, and stroke ends are cut flat, either horizontally or vertically; the official notes add that corners are slightly rounded so the endings look softer. The same notes say the look may be read as technical or futuristic. The family has five weights, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold, each supplied as a separate static file, with no italic. Each font holds 1,043 glyphs across the Latin, Latin Extended and Devanagari subsets. Rajdhani comes from Indian Type Foundry: the Devanagari is the work of Satya Rajpurohit and Jyotish Sonowal, and Shiva Nalleperumal drew the Latin. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Rajdhani works

Dashboards and HUD-style screens

Straight-sided bowls and flat stroke ends give numbers and labels an instrument-panel look, and the narrow width fits more characters per line.

Game and esports titles

SemiBold and Bold set short titles and scoreboards in the squared style the official notes call technical.

Devanagari and Latin side by side

Both scripts share one design, so a heading that mixes them keeps the same stroke weight and proportions.

Compact navigation labels

Narrow letters in Medium keep menu items short on small screens.
