About Mukta Vaani

Mukta Vaani is a sans serif family that carries the Gujarati script within the wider Mukta project. Mukta, the official notes explain, is the libre edition of Ek Type's multi-script effort to give each Indian script a family in one shared style, without letting the features of any single script dominate, so the fonts work for single-script and mixed-script settings alike. The notes credit Mukta Vaani to Noopur Datye and Pallavi Karambelkar, supported by Sarang Kulkarni and Maithili Shingre. The Latin in the specimen is humanist and nearly monoline: open terminals on a, c and e, a one-storey g, and compact, sturdy bold weights. Seven static weights run from ExtraLight 200 to ExtraBold 800, with no italics. The fonts hold 1,299 glyphs across the Gujarati, Latin and Latin Extended subsets. Ek Type is a Mumbai collective of type designers.

Where Mukta Vaani works

Gujarati websites and apps

Seven weights give Gujarati interfaces the same hierarchy of titles, labels and text that Latin systems rely on.

Mixed Gujarati and English copy

Both scripts follow one monolinear design, so English terms inside Gujarati sentences keep the same colour.

News and long-form reading

Regular and Medium serve paragraphs, with SemiBold to ExtraBold for headlines.

Multi-script brand systems

Sibling Mukta families cover Devanagari, Gurmukhi and Tamil in the same style for regional editions.
