The following are the main features of the Shobhika font: Provide a good quality companion Latin font with support for Devanāgarī transliteration.Be available in regular and bold weights.Ensure compatibility across operating systems and applications.Render most Devanāgarī conjunct characters accurately.Shobhika has been developed with the following objectives. We would like to thank both these organisations for releasing their fonts under the SIL Open Font Licence, which has enabled us to create Shobhika. The project has been launched under the auspices of the Science and Heritage Initiative (SandHI) at IIT Bombay, and builds upon the following two fonts for its Devanāgarī and Latin components respectively: (i) Yashomudra by Rājya Marāṭhī Vikās Saṃsthā, and (ii) PT Serif by ParaType. The Latin component of the font not only supports a wide range of characters required for Roman transliteration of Sanskrit, but also provides a subset of regularly used mathematical symbols for scholars working with scientific and technical documents. The font is designed with over 1600 Devanāgarī glyphs, including support for over 1100 conjunct characters, as well as vedic accents.

It is available in two weights-regular and bold. Shobhika is a free, open source, Unicode compliant, OpenType font with support for Devanāgarī, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts.
