Engineering Authentic Indic Typography
Why Assamese typography needed its own sovereign type foundry.
For decades, Assamese digital publications had to compromise with fonts borrowed from other scripts. Dubori solves this at the structural OpenType engineering level.
Authentic Ra (ৰ) & Va (ৱ)
Native Assamese letterforms engineered directly into the Unicode glyph mapping with diagonal crossbars for Ra and distinct lower hooks for Va, completely eliminating borrowed glyph substitutions.
209-Conjunct Shaper Engine
Comprehensive OpenType GSUB substitution rules for all 209 verified compound characters, from classical Vaishnavite literature to modern multi-consonants (ক্ষ, জ্ঞ, হ্ম, হ্ণ, হ্ন, স্ত্ৰ).
Three Complementary Voices
From book body prose and newspaper columns (Serif) to ceremonial invitation ribbons (Xorai) and organic personal handwriting (Hator Akhor), every publishing need is fulfilled.
SIL Open Font License 1.1
100% free and open-source for commercial print publishing, web design, mobile apps, television broadcasting, and government documents with zero royalty fees.
