## About Gemunu Libre

Gemunu Libre is a narrow sans serif family in which curves end in soft squared corners. Its official description presents it as the Unicode version of an older Sinhala typeface, FM Gemunu, redrawn for the web and for screens with larger counters and more room around the letters. Every weight carries the Sinhala script together with Latin letters of the same build. In the specimen the Latin capitals are tall and tight, vertical strokes dominate, and W is made of upright stems joined at the foot. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 200 to 800 and seven named weights; there is no italic. It contains 894 glyphs. Mooniak leads the project with Pushpananda Ekanayake, the Latin is credited to Sol Matas, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Sinhala and English interfaces**: Both scripts live in one file with a shared construction, so a bilingual menu or form keeps one texture.
- **Headlines in narrow columns**: Tight letter widths fit a long headline on a phone screen or a single newspaper column.
- **Signs and labels**: SemiBold and Bold give the upright, squared letters enough weight for wayfinding panels and product labels.
- **Charts and data labels**: Narrow figures and ExtraLight to Regular weights squeeze axis labels and table headers into little space.
- **Event posters**: ExtraBold 800 turns a few words into a dense block, with Light 300 for the supporting line.

## Things to know

- **No italic**: All seven styles are upright. Emphasis comes from a change of weight.
- **One variable file**: The download is a single variable font covering 200 to 800; the axis default is 200, so set the weight you need.
- **Sinhala and Latin only**: The character sets are Sinhala, Latin and Latin Extended. Cyrillic and Greek are not part of the font.
