Sumana

Sumana font.

Sumana is a serif font family made for Devanagari and Latin text. It works well when you need a readable text face with a formal, book-like feel, and the download includes Regular and Bold TTF files.

About Sumana

Sumana was designed for text setting and web use, with its main focus on Devanagari. The family also includes a Latin counterpart, so it can support mixed-script layouts more comfortably than a single-script font. Its serif structure gives paragraphs a steady reading rhythm, while the Bold weight adds useful emphasis for headings, labels, and highlighted words.

Use the preview box to test your own words before downloading, especially if your project uses Hindi or mixed Devanagari and Latin text. Check longer paragraphs at smaller sizes, then try short headings in Bold. Because Sumana has only Regular 400 and Bold 700 in the files listed here, it is best for clean text systems rather than designs that need many weights, italics, or wide typographic variation.

For multilingual use, test the real Devanagari and Latin text together. Check line height, punctuation, and bold emphasis in the same preview so the two scripts feel balanced rather than adjusted separately after the layout is built.

Designer and Foundry

Sumana is credited to Cyreal, with Alexei Vanyashin connected to the Devanagari design and Olga Karpushina connected to the Latin design.

Usage Tips

For best results, test both scripts in the preview before using the font in a finished design. Use Regular for body text and Bold for emphasis or short headings. If your layout needs italics, extra-light weights, or several intermediate weights, pair Sumana carefully with another font rather than forcing effects that are not part of the family.
