A perfect blend of pointy paws in a coat of fur, Baloo is an affable display typeface by Ek Type.
|
||
Available in nine Indian scripts plus Arabic along with a Latin counterpart, the family is Unicode compliant and
|
||
libre licensed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Baloo 2 is an extension of the earlier Baloo project. The new Baloo 2 includes additional glyphs, engineering
|
||
improvements, and has been extended to five weights, ranging from the light footed Regular to the affable ExtraBold.
|
||
The lighter weights retain Baloo’s characteristic bounce, but they do so slightly, infusing life into each word.
|
||
This allows the new family to freely fraternise with texts of all sizes and temperaments — be it short bursts or
|
||
copious reams, demanding headlines or whispering bylines. Carefree yet confident, sprightly yet versatile, the
|
||
renewed family of Baloo promises to bring warmth to every project.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Baloo 2 project consists of <a href="https://fonts.google.com/?query=baloo">ten font families</a> with unique
|
||
local names for each of the nine Indic scripts plus Arabic (Baloo Bhaijaan 2). Each family supports one
|
||
Indic/Arabic script plus Latin, Latin Extended, and Vietnamese.
|
||
</p>
|
||

|
||
It took a team of committed type designers to rear Baloo and raise it to be the typeface we love. The Gurmukhi is
|
||
designed by Shuchita Grover; Bangla by Noopur Datye and Sulekha Rajkumar; Odia by Yesha Goshar, Manish Minz, and
|
||
Shuchita Grover; Gujarati by Noopur Datye and Supriya Tembe; Kannada by Divya Kowshik and Shuchita Grover; Telugu by
|
||
Maithili Shingre and Omkar Shende; Malayalam by Maithili Shingre and Unnati Kotecha; and Tamil by Aadarsh Rajan.
|
||
Baloo Devanagari and Latin are collaboratively designed by Ek Type. Font engineering and type design assistance by
|
||
Girish Dalvi.
