About Rasa
Rasa is a text typeface for long reading on screen — articles, magazines, blogs — in Gujarati and Latin. It is a deliberate remix: the Latin grew out of Eben Sorkin's Merriweather and the Gujarati out of David Březina's Skolar Gujarati, both reworked by Rosetta to sit together.
It supports a wide range of Gujarati conjuncts, and its sturdy serifs keep text readable at small sizes. It comes with a matching italic, each a variable font from Light to Bold.
Choose it for editorial and literary Gujarati. For interface text Hind Vadodara is plainer; for headlines with personality, Shrikhand.
