Jainī is a Devanāgarī and Latin typeface based on the calligraphic style of the Jain Kalpasūtra manuscripts from 1503 CE. The design features disconnected śirōrēkhā with triangular wedges, short upper mātrās, and squarish letters with large kānā-height, reviving distinctive manuscript features for contemporary use.
