## About Atma

Atma is a display family for Bengali and Latin with a light-hearted, hand-drawn character. The official notes say the two scripts were drawn side by side in a studio collaboration. In the Latin shown in the specimen, letters lean at slightly different angles, stems taper and swell like brush strokes, the A splays outward, and the baseline is uneven on purpose; the heavier weights turn the same shapes into thick, bouncy forms. The family has five weights (Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold) as separate static files, with no italics, and is not a variable font. Each font holds 749 glyphs for Bengali, Latin and Latin Extended. Black Foundry, based in Paris, leads the project. Sources differ on the individuals: the name table lists Hornus, Vincens, Minet and Riccardo Olocco, while the official notes replace Olocco with Roxane Gataud. Atma is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Bengali and Latin headlines**: Both scripts were drawn together, so a bilingual title has the same informal brush rhythm.
- **Children's books and learning material**: Tilted, uneven letters give text a hand-drawn friendliness at large sizes.
- **Posters and event graphics**: Bold 700 turns the bouncing shapes into a dark, lively headline.
- **Captions with a title**: Five weights allow a light caption and a heavy title in one family.

## Things to know

- **Five static files**: Each weight is a separate TTF; there is no variable version in the package.
- **No italics**: All five weights are upright, though the letters already tilt irregularly.
- **Designer credits differ between sources**: The font's name table and the official description list partly different people; both name Black Foundry.
