It is the libre version of Ek Type's multi-script project, whose aim is a harmonious family across Indian scripts in which no script's features dominate the others; sister families cover Gujarati, Gurmukhi and Tamil. Girish Dalvi and Yashodeep Gholap designed Mukta. In the specimen the Latin is slightly narrow, with stroke ends cut at an angle, a two-storey a, and a Q whose tail sweeps to the right. The family has seven weights, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold, as static files. Each holds 1,356 glyphs. There are no italics.

The Gujarati, Gurmukhi and Tamil designs of the project are separate families. ## FAQs ### Is Mukta free for commercial use?
