About Maname

Maname is a serif typeface that sets Sinhala and Latin script in a single style. The Latin letters in the specimen have short, angular wedge serifs, moderate contrast between thick and thin, and slightly irregular details: the tail of the Q curls under the bowl, and the g has a compact double-storey form with a small ear. The overall colour is firm and a little dark, which carries well in headings. Maname comes as one Regular file and is not a variable font; there is no italic or bold. Its 1,086 glyphs are spread over the Sinhala, Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets. Pathum Egodawatta is credited as designer in the font's name table, with Mooniak as the manufacturer, and the copyright notice names The Maname Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Maname works

Sinhala headlines and titles

The Sinhala character set is the core of the 1,086 glyphs, drawn at a weight that holds a heading.

Sinhala and English side by side

Latin and Sinhala come from one file, so bilingual titles and captions share the same stroke weight.

Book covers and posters

Angular wedge serifs and firm colour give a title presence at large sizes.

Editorial pull quotes

A short quotation in the Regular stands apart from surrounding sans serif text.
