Anek Multiscript Variable Font Family
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Type Design / Display / 2022
Anek brights together multiple scripts designed in multiple weights and widths by multiple designers. Designed primarily for large sizes and short texts, the confident and contemporary type family is characterised by distinct visual features, robust structures and rhythmic textures. The design of each script borrows from its own typographic culture and reflects the perspectives of the designers, making for a refreshing, versatile interpretation of India's lettering traditions.
What did the judges have to say?
"There is a shortage of Indic typefaces and to have a family of Indic scripts designed with a common design DNA and to such high quality standards is a wonderful breakthrough moment."
Nadine Chahine, CEO, I Love Typography Ltd
