About

Released in July 2025, this typeface provides complete coverage of the Ethiopic Unicode block (U+1200–U+137F) and its supplement (U+1380–U+139F), amounting to 612 glyphs for Amharic text. It is available via CSS API with stable file URLs suited to web embedding. No extended family members or weight variants accompany the single Regular style.

Classification

An Ethiopic script typeface covering the full Fidel syllabary for Amharic. Classified as serif based on the general register of Ethiopic type design with traditional stroke endings, though Ethiopic script categorisation does not map cleanly onto Latin-derived categories.
