A short note, kept as it was posted.

Can we invent an Indian font? I don’t mean a font created for Indian scripts, but a font for English, i.e., the Latin script, that is strongly Indian. Like Helvetica for the Swiss. Or American Typewriter for the Americans. It seems that Satyajit Ray did play around with fonts but none of them are really Indian.
