Fonts are more than mere text; they define the style, readability, and overall user experience of digital content. A font family consists of multiple fonts sharing a common design but varying in weight, style, or size. For Hindi content, fonts like KrutiDev, DevLys, and Mangal are widely used to ensure accurate representation of the Devanagari script.
The behavior of a font family depends on weight, style, and supported character sets. Fonts can include regular, bold, and light weights, as well as italic or oblique variations, providing flexibility for emphasis and hierarchy. Rendering differs across operating systems and browsers; Windows and macOS may display the same font differently due to anti-aliasing and hinting.
Choosing the right font requires attention to compatibility, legibility, and performance. Ensure that the font supports all required characters, especially ligatures and conjuncts in Hindi. High-quality fonts maintain clarity even at smaller sizes. Using @font-face or Google Fonts improves web performance and allows consistent visual presentation, while fallback fonts ensure readability if the primary font fails to load.
