Till we see the Russians 😆
I mean no disrespect to the designers, but I honestly don’t see much creative exploration in these typefaces. Ethiopic scripts are complex, but they are also incredibly expressive and rich with design potential. These fonts feel mechanically produced (AI slop) rather than meticulously designed, which is disappointing for a script with such deep visual culture. Sorry for my words.
Google Sans’s serifs resemble those of Adobe’s Kigelia Ethiopic.
@ethiopic @Mathrix Great to hear that Dan! I’ll be more than happy to receive it whenever it’s ready - no rush at all. I’m also a type enthusiast and font collector, and I have some Ethiopic and other script archives as well. It will be wonderful to share them with you in time! Thank you so much for everything you’ve been doing for Ethiopic type - so HELPFUL!
@ethiopic Hey Dan, would you mind sharing the PDF of this document, if it's available?
