About
Martel's broad weight range makes it a genuinely versatile workhorse for Hindi and Latin typographic systems, serving body text at lighter weights and headline work at heavier ones. Its formal, measured construction suits publishing, academic, and institutional contexts where clarity and authority are valued. The coherent Devanagari and Latin pairing is particularly valuable for bilingual Indian publishing.
