About Calcutta Font

Calcutta is a display typeface designed by Manushi Parikh and Satya Rajpurohit at the Indian Type Foundry. With 331 glyphs and support for over 258 Latin-based languages, this font delivers bold visual impact for designs that demand attention and presence. The typeface excels on magazine cover headlines, striking posters, distinctive logos, and eye-catching social media graphics where your typography needs to cut through and command focus. Its strong character also makes it an excellent choice for brand identities, packaging designs, event flyers, restaurant menus, and product displays that require visual authority.

The extensive language support across 258+ Latin scripts makes Calcutta particularly valuable for designers working on international or multilingual projects. Global campaigns and regional work with complex typography needs both benefit from this font's consistent, commanding presence across different markets and audience regions. Calcutta brings the same visual authority to every supported language, making it ideal for diverse portfolios and cross-cultural design work. Licensed under the Open Font License, the font is free for both personal and commercial use.

Pair Calcutta with a refined, neutral typeface for body copy to balance its display strength and maintain readability across larger documents or mixed-size layouts where both impact and legibility matter.
