Kripa (कृपा) is a contemporary, geometric sans-serif with support for Latin and Devanagari scripts. The font balances sharp, circular forms and has an approchable “human” undertone. It has tight apertures and minimalist structures, and the font avoids the formality of traditional, neo-grotesque typefaces. With a tall x-height and a relatively short ascender height, it is more practical than a standard geometric typeface, allowing the lowercase letters to remain legible across a variety of text sizes and environments.

With its support for both Latin and Devanagari scripts, Kripa covers a wide range of languages including Hindi and Marathi. The Latin set includes an extensive collection of accented characters. Both scripts were developed to share a unified visual rhythm and optical weight, allowing for an organic transition between different languages within a single layout.

Kripa is an OpenType variable font. It is not only available in multiple individual weights, but is also available as a single file supporting the axis of weight variation. It also features 20 character variants and a suite of OpenType features, including stylistic alternates, discretionary ligatures, and contextual alternates. It also includes tabular numbers and fractions.
