01 · About Telugu fonts
Choosing a Telugu font for Telugu.
Telugu has a long list on Google Fonts: several by Purushoth Kumar Guttula (Mandali, NTR, Suranna, Dhurjati and more), Peddana and Ramaraja by Appaji Ambarisha Darbha, plus Noto and Hind Guntur. Anu Script Manager text (a legacy font) must be converted to Unicode first.
The 16 families here include 9 sans serif, 6 serif, 1 display. 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
Telugu 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
Telugu’s distinctive letters, font by font.
We looked inside each of the 16 font files and checked whether it contains a glyph for the letters Telugu relies on, and for every assigned character of the Telugu block (101 characters). This only checks that a glyph exists, not how well the font draws a conjunct.

Questions about telugu font style preview
How do I make Telugu text look stylish?
Type your Telugu 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 16 fonts here are free under the SIL Open Font License, so you can use them for posters, thumbnails and social posts.
Why do Telugu 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 Telugu font. Use the PNG button for a picture that keeps the style everywhere.
Which Telugu font should I use?
Telugu has a long list on Google Fonts: several by Purushoth Kumar Guttula (Mandali, NTR, Suranna, Dhurjati and more), Peddana and Ramaraja by Appaji Ambarisha Darbha, plus Noto and Hind Guntur. Anu Script Manager text (a legacy font) must be converted to Unicode first.
