The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

NTR is a Telugu handwriting font inspired by the artist Bapu who is famous among Telugu people. Many artists followed him and created their own style and this font shows that influence. It is suitable for headings, posters, invitations and anywhere you want to use a handwriting font. NTR is named after Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, who worked tirelessly for the self-respect and well being of Telugu people around the world.
The Telugu is designed and developed by Purushoth Kumar Guttula in 2013 and made available by Silicon Andhra under the SIL Open Font License v1.1. The Latin is designed by Joe Prince and originally published as Varela Round. The NTR project is led by Appaji Ambarisha Darbha, a type designer based in Hyderabad, India.
