About Hubballi
Hubballi is a Kannada and Latin typeface by Erin McLaughlin, named after the city of Hubballi in northern Karnataka. It is monolinear, with rounded strokes and an informal, friendly tone that makes Kannada feel approachable.
The even strokes stay clear on screen, and the design works for interface text, short articles and casual headings alike.
It is a single weight, so pair it with a bolder face for strong headlines. Its built-in line spacing is tight; give Kannada's stacked consonants extra line height in paragraphs.
