ISE
[Akhilesh Gupta]

ISE (Institute of Software Engineering) is Akhilesh Gupta's small software company and font foundry. He developed a Nagari-Latin font in 1995-1996. In 2005 he released Akhil_HE and Akhil_ME which are Unicode based OpenType Nagari-Latin fonts. These fonts are almost similar. The only difference is in design of glyphs for Devanagari digits FIVE, EIGHT and NINE (096B, 096E & 096F). The M in Akhil_ME indicates that glyphs are as used in Marathi rather than Hindi. These fonts are professionally hinted and render well on low resolution devices. Located in Gondia, Maharashtra, India. [Google] [More]  ⦿
