A perfect blend of pointy paws inside a coat of fur, Baloo is an affable show typeface by Ek Sort. Out there in nine Indian scripts as well as a Latin counterpart, the family members is Unicode compliant and libre licensed.
Baloo is really a distinctive heavy spurless style with a subtle tinge of playfulness and all the bare necessities of sort. Snuggling several scripts below a single weight, the typeface focuses on providing equal justice to each and every act of this gentle jungle affair to secure single and multi-script use. Carefree however confident, warm yet entertaining, sprightly but intelligible, Baloo infuses life everywhere it goes.
The Baloo project develops nine separate fonts with exclusive neighborhood names for each and every of the nine Indic Scripts. Every single font supports one particular Indic subset plus Latin, Latin Extended, and Vietnamese.
