2 | Jaini and Jaini Purva (both Devanagari) are typefaces based on the calligraphic style of the Jain Kalpasutra 3 | manuscripts, 4 | particularly referencing a manuscript from 1503 CE. The manuscript style has several unique features not seen in the 5 | commonly observed Balbodh style. These include a disconnected shirorekha with triangular wedges, short upper matras, 6 | squarish letters with large kana height, heavy knots, and the integration of lower matras within the kana height. It 7 | also contains some letter-shapes that have evolved over time and are not familiar to current readers. In an attempt 8 | to revive the distinct calligraphic style for contemporary use, Jaini adapts visual features of the manuscript style 9 | to contemporary letter-structures. Jaini and Jaini Purva differ in their treatment of conjuncts; Jaini adheres to 10 | contemporary conventions of horizontal conjuncts, whereas Jaini Purva stays true to vertically stacked conjuncts as 11 | seen in manuscripts. 12 |

13 |

14 | While Jaini Devanagari references past manuscripts, its Latin companion draws inspiration from a hand-lettering 15 | style seen in present-day India. In regions where Devanagari is predominantly used, it is not uncommon to see Latin 16 | letterforms drawn with a Devanagari pen angle (which is almost perpendicular to the Latin pen angle) with a subtle 17 | hint of a shirorekha. Jaini (Latin) draws inspiration from this street style while visually matching it with the 18 | wavy stems and squarish counters of Jaini Devanagari. 19 |

20 |

21 | Jaini Devanagari was designed in 2016 by Girish Dalvi and Maithili Shingre. Jaini Latin was designed in 2023 by 22 | Taresh Vohra. This project is led by Ek Type, a collective of type designers based in Mumbai focused on designing 23 | contemporary Indian typefaces. 24 |
