Martel是一個開源字體開發項目。始於2008年的雷丁大學印刷與圖形傳播系,2014年發佈了第一批字體系列(Martel UltraLight、Light、Regular、DemiBold、Bold、ExtraBold和Heavy)。迄今為止,梵文的字形都是由Dan Reynolds設計的,而拉丁文字的字形是基於Merriweather字體。
Martel Devanagari字體是為排版沉浸式文檔而設計的。它可以用來設置用梵文書寫的語言的長段文字,包括印地語、馬拉地語、尼泊爾語、梵語等。Martel Devanagari是一種可讀字體,其字形比例受到傳統書寫和書法風格的啟發。它的高對比度筆劃有一個對角線軸,與最常用的天成文書書寫系統的筆角保持一致。
Martel is a libre font development project. Begun in 2008 in the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading, the first weights of the font family (Martel UltraLight, Light, Regular, DemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Heavy) were released in 2014. The Devanagari glyphs to-date have all been designed by Dan Reynolds, whereas the Latin script’s glyphs are based on the Merriweather fonts.
The Martel Devanagari typeface is designed for typesetting immersive-style documents. It may be be used to set long passages of text in languages that are written in the Devanagari script, including Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, etc. Martel Devanagari is a readable typeface whose glyph proportions are inspired by traditional writing and calligraphic styles. Its high-contrast strokes have a diagonal axis, in keeping with the pen-angle most often used for the Devanagari writing system.
