नेपाली फन्ट

A Nepali font is a digital typeface that renders Devanagari script glyphs for the Nepali language; it can use modern Unicode encoding or legacy ASCII mappings like Preeti, Kantipur or PCS that require the same font installed on every device.

100+ Devanagari fonts — Unicode, Preeti, Kantipur and PCS — with live preview and free download.

TypeNepal hosts a curated library of free Devanagari fonts with live custom-text preview, attribution, and licensing info — covering modern Unicode fonts (Noto, Mukta, Hind), traditional legacy fonts and designer-made display faces.

What kinds of Nepali fonts are available?

The TypeNepal library covers four families: Unicode fonts (Mukta, Hind, Noto Sans Devanagari, Mangal) for modern use; legacy fonts (Preeti, Kantipur, PCS) for archival workflows; display fonts for headings and design; and Devanagari serif fonts for editorial publishing.

Which Nepali font is best for an office document?

For new office documents pick a Unicode font — Mukta, Hind, Noto Sans Devanagari or Kalimati. They install cleanly on Windows, macOS and Linux, render correctly in Microsoft Word and on the web, and require no special configuration on the reader's device.

What is the best Devanagari font for a website?

For a website prefer Google Fonts Devanagari faces — Mukta, Hind, Tiro Devanagari Hindi, Noto Sans Devanagari. They ship as fast WOFF2 files, cover the full character set, are licensed for commercial use and render crisply across all major browsers.

Download the .ttf file from the font page. On Windows double-click the file and click Install. On macOS double-click and click Install Font in Font Book. Restart Microsoft Word or your design tool to see the new font appear in the font picker.

Why does my Nepali text show boxes or question marks?
