Pairs well with

  • Heading

    Rozha One

    Heavy, high-contrast headlines over even, near-monolinear text in the same two scripts: Rozha One takes the display role in Devanagari and Latin alike, so neither script falls back to a stand-in face.

BPOZZ Design Note

Its Devanagari is scaled against the Latin rather than drawn to a separate size: the Devanagari headline falls just below the Latin capital height, with base characters at 94% of it. Mixed Hindi and English labels can therefore share one font-size without per-script adjustment.
