Adobe Kannada FONT Download

The Adobe Kannada typeface was designed by Erin McLaughlin, with Brahmic script expert Fiona Ross consulting on the design. This type family was designed to harmonize with Adobe’s other Brahmic fonts, both in terms of apparent size and style, to ensure that this suite of typeface families can be typeset together as a system. The primary intended usage — for printed outputs, particularly continuous text settings — guided the design direction.   The letter construction is based on traditional Kannada text typeface designs, including the influential Basel Mission Press Kannada typeface, which set a strong precedent for weight, form, and proportions for succeeding type designs for Kannada. Adobe Kannada features a contrast distribution somewhat lower than the norm so as to maintain strong, legible forms at small sizes. Careful attention to shaping and details allow these typefaces to be used in a range of type sizes from small text to heading and display sizes.   The Adobe Kannada fonts comply with the Unicode standard for character encoding and leverage OpenType layout to produce correct script shaping. A full set of Kannada ligatures is included in the fonts to provide the most natural shaping of Kannada text. The designer has provided careful kerning of all vowel signs and modifiers. The fonts include proportional Kannada numerals.   Menu Names And Style Linking   In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font name in the menu:   Adobe Kannada   To access the bold style, use the bold style button.   On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe PageMaker software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign software.   One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.   For all fonts of family Adobe Kannada: version 1.055 created on Mon Apr 06 16:41:31 2015. version 1.055 created 2015/04/06   Some glyphs in the font cannot be accessed unless you are using an OpenType compatible application.

The Adobe Originals program started in 1989 as an in-house type foundry at Adobe, brought together to create original typefaces of exemplary design quality, technical fidelity, and aesthetic longevity. Today the Type team’s mission is to make sophisticated and even experimental typefaces that explore the possibilities of design and technology. Typefaces released as Adobe Originals are the result of years of work and study, regarded as industry standards for the ambition and quality of their development.
