That’s why we are very pleased to see first applications of the font that play with multi-dimensionality. This visual identity was designed by Jihee Lee Great work.

The process of development of Lava Devanagari, Kannada and Telugu started with the calligraphic explorations, followed by defining the characteristic strokes and proportions of Indic scripts, and finally optimising the shapes making sure that the fonts work equally well across all language versions. https://www.typotheque.com/blog/high_legibility_devanagari_kannada_and_telugu_fonts

Ping, multilingual support

Ping doesn’t support all the world’s languages yet. Currently it only supports 10 different writing scripts and close to 300 languages, but its ambition is to keep growing and cover as many languages as possible, an unprecedented goal for a small independent type foundry. https://www.typotheque.com/blog/ping_a_whole-world_typeface
