01 · About Hindi fonts
Choosing a Devanagari font for Hindi.
Hindi has the widest choice of Google Fonts of any Indian language, from the neutral Noto and Mukta to the calligraphic Kalam, the display faces Yatra One and Rozha One, and the book serifs Martel and Sahitya. Tiro Devanagari Hindi is drawn specifically for Hindi text.
The 23 families here include 6 sans serif, 12 serif, 3 display, 2 handwriting. Everything below is licensed under the SIL OFL, so you can use the fonts in commercial work, and each designer is credited in the table.
Unicode text keeps its look only where the font is installed. Posting to Instagram, WhatsApp or a thumbnail? Use the PNG button on a card.
Letters to check
Hindi relies on these characters. If a decorative font shows a box or a different font for one of them, it doesn’t cover it.

03 · Letter coverage
Hindi’s distinctive letters, font by font.
We looked inside each of the 23 font files and checked whether it contains a glyph for the letters Hindi relies on, and for every assigned character of the Devanagari block (128 characters). This only checks that a glyph exists, not how well the font draws a conjunct.
The letters, and how they are stored
- क़U+0915 + U+093Calso encoded as one code point, U+0958
- ख़U+0916 + U+093Calso encoded as one code point, U+0959
- ग़U+0917 + U+093Calso encoded as one code point, U+095A
- ज़U+091C + U+093Calso encoded as one code point, U+095B
- ड़U+0921 + U+093Calso encoded as one code point, U+095C

- त्रU+0924 + U+094D + U+0930
- श्रU+0936 + U+094D + U+0930
Letters marked “also encoded as one code point” exist both as a base letter plus a sign and as a single legacy code point that Unicode normalisation splits again. Type the pair; a well-made font draws both forms the same way.

Questions about hindi font style preview
How do I make Hindi text look stylish?
Type your Hindi text above, pick a font card you like and press PNG to download it as an image, or copy the text and set it in that font in Word or Canva. The 23 fonts here are free under the SIL Open Font License, so you can use them for posters, thumbnails and social posts.
Why do Hindi fonts disappear when I paste the text into social media?
Pasted text is plain Unicode: the letters without the font. Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook show it in their own Devanagari font. Use the PNG button for a picture that keeps the style everywhere.
Which Hindi font should I use?
Hindi has the widest choice of Google Fonts of any Indian language, from the neutral Noto and Mukta to the calligraphic Kalam, the display faces Yatra One and Rozha One, and the book serifs Martel and Sahitya. Tiro Devanagari Hindi is drawn specifically for Hindi text.
Are these fonts free for commercial use?
Yes. All 23 Devanagari fonts on this page are SIL Open Font License 1.1: free for personal and commercial use, including in images and videos. Don’t sell the font files themselves. The designers are listed in the table on this page.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Your text stays in the browser and the PNG is drawn on your device.
