About Rozha One
Rozha One is a very high-contrast display face for Devanagari and Latin, released by the Indian Type Foundry in 2014. The thick-and-thin strokes are pushed to an extreme, and the Latin is drawn as a fat-face Didone of the kind seen on nineteenth-century posters, with an x-height so large it almost erases the difference between capitals and lowercase.
It is made for size: magazine covers, film titles, wedding stationery and posters.
At small sizes the hairlines vanish, so never use it for text. One weight, one purpose — set it big, give it space, and pair it with a calm sans.
