Martel是一个开源字体开发项目。始于2008年的雷丁大学印刷与图形传播系,2014年发布了第一批字体系列(Martel UltraLight、Light、Regular、DemiBold、Bold、ExtraBold和Heavy)。迄今为止,梵文的字形都是由Dan Reynolds设计的,而拉丁文字的字形是基于Merriweather字体。
Martel Devanagari字体是为排版沉浸式文档而设计的。它可以用来设置用梵文书写的语言的长段文字,包括印地语、马拉地语、尼泊尔语、梵语等。Martel Devanagari是一种可读字体,其字形比例受到传统书写和书法风格的启发。它的高对比度笔划有一个对角线轴,与最常用的天成文书书写系统的笔角保持一致。
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.
