Ayanna Font Brief
Yaldevi Font Brief (previously Ayanna)
==============

Following is the intial email posted on Google Fonts discussion list outlining the project.
A narrow family meant for titling, captions and smaller text chunks supporting Sinhala, Tamil and Latin. Sinhala and Tamil design will try to simplify some of the more complex shapes and would have a bit of experimental shapes, hopefully not offending.

We are doing a full documentation of Sinhala, this will be the base that we will be using for our future Sinhala projects as well.

Ayanna Narrow Font
Yaldevi Fonts
===================

Ayanna is a narrow font intended for titles and short texts in the web, with support for Sinhala, Tamil, and Latin.

With Tamil and Latin languages support, this Ayanna provides a complete solution for Sinhala Tamil and English trilingual design typical in Sri Lanka.
Slightly condensed shapes and dimensions make it possible to fit more text in a line.
The x-height of Latin and body height of Sinhala and Tamil is generous, and has short ascenders and descenders, increasing the space efficiency.
It has a somewhat neutral personality with a touch of soft and smooth curves that add some whimsy.
Ayanna will perform well when used in headlines, subheads and shorter text blocks such as pull quotes.
Tamil glyphs are designed to cater the same typographic needs, with open counters and a friendly feel.
Sinhala glyphs have some peculiarities and experimental shapes that were invented to perform well as a display face while belonging in the formal text typeface category.
Make sure you check out all these features before using it.
Ayanna comes in six weights, and the extralight weight is pleasingly beautiful and stylish for headlines.

This project is a benchmark project for Sinhala type design projects by Mooniak.
The research, learnings, and tools developed along the way are documented and shared under open and free licenses.
The name ‘Ayanna’ comes from the name of the first letter of Sinhala alphabet, අ.

The project is led by designers of Mooniak, the collaborative collective of creatives based in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Sol Matas contributed Latin design.
Intial release of the font is funded by Google Fonts.
