Gujarati fontsગુજરાતી
Typefaces for Gujarati, whose script drops the headline stroke that runs along the top of Devanagari — a lighter, rounder look.
3 open-licensed fonts that can set Gujarati, each free to download for personal and commercial work.
Check the conjuncts
Like Devanagari, Gujarati joins consonants into conjuncts such as ક્ષ and જ્ઞ. Type a few into the preview to see whether the font draws true ligatures or falls back to half-forms.
Unicode, not legacy fonts
Older Gujarati documents were often typed in legacy fonts such as Terafont, which store letters in the slots of Latin ones. Text from those needs converting to Unicode before it displays in these fonts.
Setting Gujarati text
Gujarati needs a text engine that forms conjuncts. Word and current browsers handle it. In Photoshop, switch to the Middle Eastern and South Asian text engine under Preferences → Type.
