Abacaxi specimen from Universal Thirst

A low-contrast, seven-weight Devanagari and Latin family designed by a seven-person team and named after the Brazilian Portuguese word for pineapple.

About

Abacaxi pairs Devanagari and Latin scripts in a single cohesive family, spanning seven weights from Thin to Extra Bold with matching italics and a variable font. The design's low stroke contrast keeps both scripts visually harmonious across weights. Latin support covers over 40 languages, while the Devanagari covers 14 languages including Hindi, Marathi and Nepali.

Classification

A low-contrast sans-serif with humanist tendencies, designed simultaneously for Devanagari and Latin scripts. The low contrast and even stroke weight across both scripts suggest a humanist sans approach rather than a strict geometric or grotesque model.
