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.

Sarala is a Devanagari typeface family designed by Andrés Torresi and Carolina Giovagnoli for HT Fonts. It is based on the original Latin typeface Telex, a sans serif typeface for text.
It is a humanist sans serif design, conceived to be a web font with nice legibility at normal text sizes. Originally based on grid fitting shapes it became a multi-purpose typeface with low contrast, open counter forms, wide proportions and a touch of freshness.
Thanks to José Nicolás Silva, Vaishnavi Murthy and Erin McLaughlin for their feedback.
The Sarala project is led by Andrés Torresi, a type designer based in Argentina. To contribute, see github.com/andrestelex/sarala
