RIT Unny open source font

Wait 5 sec.

E.P. Unny is a notable Indian political cartoonist, who worked/works with famed Shankar’s Weekly and new papers such as The Hindu and Indian Express.Since 2020, all his cartoons (also 2025, 2026 so far) are published — every week — open-access by Sayahna Foundation.Unny was using a font based on his handwriting style for the cartoons, designed by K.H. Hussain of Rachana. Recently, a new font designed by Varshini KVSS & ‘Kandam Collective’ is developed by Rachana Institute of Typography to use in the cartoons, and it is released as open source — see the specimen and download links.The character set of the font is Latin only. There are plenty of alternate glyphs (for upper case and lower cases of i, j, l, g, etc. — for instance check the double ‘l’ in ‘Intelligence’ on the specimen above). Such characters are rendered alternately to give a feel of the randomness that handwriting evokes.The source (and issue tracking) are available at RIT fonts repository.
