<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>

<p> This project is designed, engineered and maintained by Ek Type; a collective of type designers based in Mumbai
focused on designing contemporary Indian typefaces. Contributors of this project are: Maithili Shingre (Anek
Malayalam, Anek Kannada), Yesha Goshar (Anek Latin, Anek Odia), Kailash Malviya (Anek Devanagari), Aadarsh Rajan
(Anek Tamil), Sulekha Rajkumar (Anek Bangla), Vaishnavi Murthy (Anek Kannada), Omkar Bhoir (Anek Telugu), Mrunmayee
Ghaisas (Anek Gujarati), Mahesh Sahu (Anek Odia), and Sarang Kulkarni (Anek Gurmukhi). Project management and design
assistance by Noopur Datye, and Font engineering and design assistance by Girish Dalvi.</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. Embracing the variable font technology, Anek meets the demands of the modern multiscript page with its confident and contemporary design.

It’s 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.

While the extreme styles wear their style on their sleeve, the middling widths and weights mean business. When in the presence of other styles, they recede into the back, allowing the extremes to shine. But left on their own, they set text with a quiet confidence. The quirks are but a faint echo that no longer distract; clarity over personality.

### Building the font from source
Seven scripts have been designed in Glyphs and three scripts have been designed in Fontlab 7. Since there are two types of source files, we use UFO's and a unified build script to build our fonts. This build script (`build.sh`) is provided in the `sources` folder. Download the sources, and use this script to build the fonts.

> `fontmake` and `gftools` are required for building the fonts from UFO's.
If you need to re-generate the UFO's or study the source files; the Glyphs and Fontlab source files are available in the sources folder under the respective script directories.
