The glyph set specification was prepared with advice from Anshuman Pandey, and is based on both existing catalogues as well as new analysis of specific Vedic and literary texts.
Letter shapes have been made more stylistically and proportionally consistent, and the glyph set supports more than 680 consonant conjunct sequences attested in Sanskrit texts. The design of Sanskrit Text is based on Monotype Devanagari, a type initially manufactured for hot metal typesetting technologies back in 1930s, but has been thoroughly revised and expanded by John Hudson and Fiona Ross (Tiro Typeworks). Sanskrit Text is Devanagari font specially targeting the typesetting of Sanskrit texts in a traditional style.
