Devalaya Vastu type is a decorative typeface inspired by the organic iconography of South Indian temple architecture and sculpture science. This typeface is worthy of a place among the gods, detailed with curvy linear elements taken straight from the carved walls of ancient Indian temples. This typeface is exclusively created in lowercase, as traditional Indian alphabets don’t have an uppercase and a lowercase system like the english alphabet.
