About Amita

Amita is a script typeface whose Latin letters stand upright and do not join, mixing script and italic forms. The specimen shows broad-pen contrast and swelling curves, a rounded capital A, capitals M and N built on lowercase-style arches, and an r with a curled shoulder. According to the official notes the Latin derives from Redressed, a design by Brian Bonislawsky, and the Devanagari, in a traditional calligraphic style, from Modular Infotech's Devanagari 2310 and 1228; Eduardo Tunni put the two together. The name is the Indian feminine form of Amit. The notes add that its open spacing serves titling and also smaller text. Two static styles are available, Regular 400 and Bold 700, without italics. Each font contains 769 glyphs for the Devanagari, Latin and Latin Extended character sets. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Amita works

Invitations and greeting cards

Pen-like contrast and curled capitals give names and dates a calligraphic look while each letter stays separate and legible.

Titles in Latin and Devanagari

Both scripts are calligraphic in style, so a bilingual title page or poster stays visually consistent.

Book and chapter headings

Unconnected letters with open spacing hold up in a line of several words, where a joined script would crowd.

Labels and menus

Bold 700 marks a product or dish name and Regular 400 the line beneath it.

Things to know

Letters do not connect

Unlike a joined script, each Latin letter in Amita stands alone and upright.

Regular and Bold only

There is no italic, and the family is not a variable font.

Three sources

The copyright notice names Eduardo Rodriguez Tunni, Modular Infotech and Brian J. Bonislawsky, reflecting the combined Latin and Devanagari origins.
