The five weights are equipped with an expansive set of consonant conjuncts, contextual matra variations and language-specific alternates for Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit, as well as fitted punctuation and numerals. It is intended for use in print and on screen, from rigorous academic treatises to editorial and branding work, and complements Skolar PE for Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
