Ethiopic Lessan Light specimen from Geez Archive

A single Light-weight Ethiopic typeface designed by Abass Alamnehe, covering the full Amharic Unicode block and supplement with 715 glyphs, released under the SIL Open Font License.

About

Released in 2020, the typeface covers the main Ethiopic Unicode block (U+1200–U+137F) and its supplement (U+1380–U+139F), providing 384 and 32 characters respectively alongside basic Latin. With only one weight available, it is suited to projects requiring clean Ge'ez script rendering at light weights. Distribution is handled via Geez Archive's CSS2 API with stable file URLs for web embedding.

Classification

A single-weight Ethiopic script typeface covering the full Amharic Unicode range. The Latin sample suggests a clean, upright sans-serif structure, and the overall design is weight-specific rather than part of a multi-weight family.
