Adwa Sans Serif specimen from Geez Archive

A single-weight sans-serif by Abraham Abebe covering the full Ethiopic Unicode block for Amharic, released in 2019 with a basic Latin companion.

About

Covering 384 characters in the main Ethiopic block (U+1200–U+137F) and 32 in the Ethiopic Supplement, the family was built to serve Amharic-language publishing on the web. A Regular and Bold weight are available as TTF files, with WOFF2 served via the Geez Archive CSS API. The Latin glyphs are functional rather than distinctive, intended as a fallback stack companion.

Classification

A sans-serif designed primarily for Ethiopic script, covering the full Amharic Unicode range. The Latin companion follows straightforward sans-serif conventions with no strong geometric or grotesque tendencies.
