+Abhaya Libre (අභය ලිබ්රේ අකුරු මුහුණත) is the Unicode compliant and complete libre version of Pushpananda Ekanayakes's FM Abhaya font, the most popular Sinhala typeface on Earth, with a new and original Latin designed by Sol Matas.
+</p>
+<p>
+‘FM Abhaya’ was designed in 1996 and is the most widely used Sinhala typeface. 
+It is an interpretation of the earliest Sinhala letterpress typefaces. 
+The name ‘Abhaya’ comes after the King Abhaya (474 BCE to 454 BCE) who reigned Sri Lanka from the ancient kingdom of Upatissa Nuwara. 
+</p>
+<p>
+In the Unicode adaptation process, the FM Abhaya font was completely redrawn from the scratch to suit the modern usages in Web, Tablets and smaller sizes for Smartphones. 
+Abhaya Libre comes in 5 weights which enables designers to build sophisticated typographic layouts. 
+Lighter weights suites mostly for body text and heavier weights do best in title settings.
+</p>
+<p>
+Each of those weights contains x glyphs that enables clean and precise rendering for Sinhala, Pali and Sanskrit texts. 
+The special compact ‘Da’ forms can be enabled using stylistic sets.
+</p>
+<p>
+It comes with a Latin set designed by Sol Matas to match the aesthetics of Abhaya Libre Sinhala. 
+The Latin set was inspired by the style of the original Sinhala, with the notable inherent contrast in between thick and thin strokes, was modified to tally with the visualization logics of Latin typefaces. 
+The ductus references according to the lines of a Didone typeface add some Sinhala forms to certain terminations.
+After several tests and discussions we agreed on the height for uppercase and lowercase to match harmoniously with Sinhala. 
+The width of each character and its position on the baseline have been carefully designed to get a nice balance between both writing systems. 
+Its large counters and large x-height with small ascenders and descenders optimize the reading experience on small screens.
+</p>
+<p>
+Thanks to Pushpanada Ekanayake for leading the design of the Sinhala, Sol Matas for leading the design of the Latin, Pathum Egodawatta for refactoring and Program Management, and Ayantha Randika for OpenType feature development and engineering.
+Special thanks to Sumantri Samarawickrama, and Liang Hai for consultancy. 
+And thanks to all the testers on Twitter.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Abhaya Libre project is led by Mooniak, a collaborative collective of designers based in Colombo, Sri Lanka with the cooperation of Mr. Pushpananda Ekanayake, the creator of the font.
