<p> Anek, as the meaning of the word suggests, is an exercise in multiplicity — multiple scripts designed in multiple
|
||
weights and widths by multiple designers. A well-informed, conscientious and refreshing interpretation of India’s
|
||
letter traditions, this family offers a versatile system that can meet the demands of a wide range of applications.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p> Its expansive design space allows Anek to don multiple personalities. At its most condensed, capsular forms keep
|
||
structures compact for that graphic texture. On the wide end of the spectrum, the extra legroom lets each letter
|
||
yawn and stretch into their message. But it is in the boldest weights that Anek comes alive. Sharp terminals and
|
||
tapered joineries sparkle amidst regimented forms, making this ideal for setting titillating headlines or that
|
||
magnetic word-mark.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p> Anek comes in <a href="/?query=Anek">ten scripts</a>: Bangla, Devanagari, Kannada, Latin, Gujarati, Gurmukhi,
|
||
Malayalam, Odia, Tamil and Telugu. The shared aesthetics of this type-family are drawn from a collaboratively
|
||
decided pool of visual features. At the same time, each script amalgamates influences from its own typographic
|
||
culture as well as the perspectives of individual designers. </p>
|
||
|
||
