About Mukta Mahee

Mukta Mahee is a sans serif family for the Gurmukhi and Latin scripts. It belongs to Mukta, Ek Type's open project to build one family across Indian scripts in which no script's features dominate the others, so single-script and mixed-script text share a common colour. The Latin letters in the specimen are humanist in build, with nearly even stroke thickness, open apertures and a slightly narrow set. Seven upright weights run from ExtraLight 200 to ExtraBold 800; there are no italics and no variable font. Each file holds 775 glyphs for Gurmukhi, Latin and Latin Extended. The official notes credit Shuchita Grover and Noopur Datye with Mukta Mahee, and the font's name table adds Girish Dalvi and Yashodeep Gholap, the designers of the original Mukta. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Mukta Mahee works

Text that mixes Gurmukhi and Latin

Both scripts were drawn as one family, so a paragraph that switches between them keeps an even weight and height.

Apps and websites

Seven weights from 200 to 800 cover labels, body copy, buttons and headings without a second typeface.

News and long reading

Regular and Medium have even strokes and open letterforms that hold up in columns of text.

Signage and forms

SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold give clear emphasis for notices and field labels in either script.

Projects using other Mukta scripts

Mukta Mahee shares its Latin and proportions with the wider Mukta family, which also covers Devanagari, Gujarati and Tamil.
