Why Print Media & Newspapers Rely on Shree Lipi
While digital platforms have moved to Unicode, 90% of Marathi and Hindi newspapers (like Lokmat, Sakal, etc.) still use Shree Lipi (Shree Dev) fonts for their print editions.
Compact Layout (Space Saving)
Shree Lipi characters are designed to be height-efficient. This allows newspapers to fit 15-20% more text in a column compared to Unicode fonts like Mangal, saving precious paper cost.
Legacy Workflow Compatibility
Professional DTP software like QuarkXPress and Adobe PageMaker often break Unicode "Jodakshar" (joint letters). Shree Lipi uses a modular legacy mapping that renders perfectly in these older yet robust systems.

About Shree Lipi & Modular Infotech
A 35-Year Legacy
Shree Lipi is developed by Modular Infotech Pvt. Ltd., a Pune-based company founded in 1983. It is described as India's most trusted multilingual DTP software. For over three decades, it has been the cornerstone of Marathi typography, powering everything from local wedding cards to state-level government documentation.
Beyond Just Fonts
The Shree Lipi package isn't just a font; it's a complete DTP ecosystem. It includes over 1,000 modular Devanagari fonts and the decorative "Bahar" series with up to 4,400 variations. This variety is why digital artists choose it for Festival Banners and Calligraphy Art where standard Unicode fonts feel too "plain".
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to type Shree Lipi in CorelDRAW? ▼
CorelDRAW cannot type Shree Lipi directly with a normal keyboard. First, type in Unicode (Google Input), paste it into this converter, copy the output code, and then paste it into CorelDRAW with the 'Shree Dev 0714' font selected.
Is Shree Lipi font free? ▼
Shree Lipi software by Modular Infotech is a paid commercial product. However, many individual font files (like Shree Dev 0714.ttf) are often shared in the design community for legacy support.
Why use Shree Lipi for Government Documents? ▼
Many old government records and archives in Maharashtra were digitized using Shree Lipi. To maintain consistency and format with these older files, new documents are often created using the same legacy fonts.
