Font Unikurji – No Sign-up

A beautiful display font is useless if it breaks on a mobile screen. Unikurji shines in its execution of hinting and screen rendering. The x-height is notably tall—hovering near the cap height—which eliminates the "squat" appearance that plagues many geometric fonts at small sizes.

The family is robust, offering weights ranging from the ethereal Thin to the authoritative Black. Furthermore, the inclusion of alternate glyphs allows designers to toggle between a strictly geometric construction and a more "art deco" inspired stylistic set, essentially providing two fonts in one package.

Kurukh is a Dravidian language spoken by the Oraon and Kurukh tribal communities, mainly in the Indian states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal, and Assam, as well as in Bangladesh and Nepal.

The font was created to support the Tolong Siki (also spelled Tolong Siki) script – a unique, invented script for Kurukh, distinct from Devanagari, Latin, or Bengali scripts. "Unikurji" is a portmanteau: Uni (Unicode) + Kur (Kurukh) + ji (honorific). This allows for 52+ characters using only 26

It is not a standard system font (like Arial or Times New Roman). It is a custom, community-driven font designed to digitally preserve and propagate the Tolong Siki script.
