About
Siwa takes geometric construction as its foundation while drawing on traditional calligraphic principles, bridging script and Latin typographic conventions in a single family. The nine weights from Thin to Black are accompanied by comprehensive OpenType support including contextual alternates, stylistic alternates, ligatures and a full suite of numeral features for Hindi, Latin, Persian and Urdu figures. Designed for everyday screen use, it targets the considerable practical demand for consistent multi-script typography.
Classification
