Girish Dalvi

Girish Dalvi (Mumbai, India) holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, a Master's degree in Design and a Ph.D. from IIT Bombay. His doctoral research dealt with the theoretical modeling of Devanagari typefaces. He is presently professor in the Industrial Design Center of IIT Bombay.

As a type designer he has co-created several typefaces for Indian scripts, prominent amongst these is the Ek multi-script family, the open source Ek Mukta family, LifeOk Devanagari and Star Bengali.

In 2013, Girish Dalvi and Yashodeep Gholap co-designed Ek Devanagari at Ek Type for Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, Konkani and Nepali. It is a contemporary, humanist, monolinear typeface available in seven weights. Its companion, also designed by them, is the humanist sans typeface family Ek Latin (2013). Ek Mukta (2013) is a free Google Web Font (2013) co-designed by Girish Dalvi and Yashodeep Gholap with extensive support from Noopur Datye, Sarang Kulkarni and Maithili Shingre. It covers Latin in a Gill Sans style as well as Devanagari.

At Github, he oversaw the development of the free font family Baloo that covers nine Indic scripts.

In 2017, EK Type released Jaini and Jaini Purva designed by Girish Dalvi and Maithili Shingre: Jaini is a devaagari typeface based on the calligraphic style of the Jain Kalpasutra manuscripts. The design of this font is based on the 1503 Kalpasutra manuscript. Jaini won an award at Granshan 2017.
