Martel Sans, a font development project for the Devanagari and Latin scripts

martel_sans's Introduction

Martel Sans

Martel Sans is a libre font development project. Currently, support for the Devangari and Latin scripts is offered. The Devanagari character set is a monolinear design based on that from the Martel libre font project. The Latin character set is an original design; it is a humanist-style sans serif. Martel Sans was designed by Dan Reynolds and Mathieu Réguer.

Martel Sans is available, libre and gratis, from Google Fonts.

The Martel Sans typeface is designed for typesetting immersive-style documents. It may be be used to set long passages of text in languages that are written in either the Latin or the Devanagari scripts. This includes Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit, as well as most European languages. Martel Sans is also quite suitable for use in branding, headlines, or logos.

Martel Sans and Martel

Martel Sans’s Devanagari is designed to be used together with the fonts from the Martel family. Martel’s Devanagari is a very readable – its glyph proportions were inspired by traditional writing and calligraphic styles, and its high-contrast strokes have a diagonal axis, in keeping with the pen-angle most often used for the Devanagari writing system. Martel Sans is much more monolinear in comparison. Pairing the Devanagari character sets of Martel and Martel Sans is similar to the way designers and developers often use serif and sans serif fonts together in the Latin script.

Files

Two folders are hosted here: Martel Sans Font Files and Martel Sans Source Files. The font files folder contain both PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts (.otf) and TrueType-flavored fonts (.ttf). The .ttf-files are auto-hinted with ttfautohint version 1.3. All of the font files will be generated with the Glyphs 2 (beta version) font editing application. The source files folder contain a native Glyphs file as well as UFOs exported from Glyphs.

All files are offered as-is.

Kannada language support

Hello,

This font style looks beautiful. Could you extend the font to Kannada language also.

Thanks,

Family/style name table is generally ok.

remove platformID="1" names (for mac os 9)
Martel Sans Bold is set up wrong, as its own family not a linked style of the regular family. Therefore the macStyle bold was also not set. I set it and changed name table from

    <namerecord nameID="1" platformID="3" platEncID="1" langID="0x409">
      Martel Sans Bold
    </namerecord>
    <namerecord nameID="2" platformID="3" platEncID="1" langID="0x409">
      Regular
    </namerecord>

    <namerecord nameID="1" platformID="3" platEncID="1" langID="0x409">
      Martel Sans
    </namerecord>
    <namerecord nameID="2" platformID="3" platEncID="1" langID="0x409">

Please include italic version

Hi, It would be great if this great font has an italic version in all styles available.

Fix shaping for Safari

When I use Safari Version 7.1.6 on Mac OS X 10.9 to review http://www.impallari.com/testing/index-devanagari.php#sample_one (you need to click the 'Sample 1' tab link near the top right) then the shaping isn't working - Biryani is working, however! :)

heavy $

Instead of the radically offset vertical bar in the bold /dollar, I'd suggest an alternate structure where the bar only appears on top and underneath the "S" for the heavier weights. Glyphs's "bracket trick" can be used to automate this.
You could consider the same for /cent, which might enable reducing the size of the "c" there.

light latin lowercase accents

Hi Dan
L/c macron, dieresis, dot seem high, most others seem low in the light weight. Maybe acute and grave could be a little closer to center too?
