I have added 3 new Marathi fonts including modern typefaces [14]. These fonts are widely used across Maharashtra for educational materials, government documentation, and cultural publications [15]. Many of these fonts are officially recommended by educational institutions throughout Maharashtra for Marathi language learning and literature [16].

Marathi Keyboard Layout

Once the Marathi font has been downloaded, use the following Marathi keyboard layout to type in Marathi [17].

Marathi Keyboard Layout - Standard - Printable Version

The keyboard layout shown above follows the standard Devanagari layout optimised for Marathi typing [18]. This layout has been specifically designed to accommodate Marathi-specific letter combinations and provides efficient access to all characters required for proper Marathi typography [19]. The layout is widely used in Maharashtra's educational institutions and government offices for official Marathi documentation [20].

Marathi Script and Typography

Understanding the rich heritage and digital implementation of Marathi typography [21]

Marathi is written using the Devanagari script and is the official language of Maharashtra, spoken by over 83 million people worldwide [22]. The script shares its foundation with Hindi but includes specific characteristics and letter combinations that are unique to Marathi language requirements [23].

Modern Marathi fonts must support the complete Unicode Devanagari block whilst maintaining readability for Marathi-specific conjunct characters and traditional letterforms [24]. The fonts available on this page have been carefully selected to ensure proper rendering of complex Marathi text, including traditional poetry, modern literature, and official documentation.
