# Mukta

-
The Mukta font family is a Unicode compliant, versatile, contemporary, humanist, mono-linear typeface available in seven weights, supporting Devanagari, Gujarati and Latin scripts. This type family is a libre licensed version the Ek multi-script family, an ongoing project to develop a unified type family for each Indian script. The goal is to build one harmonious family across all Indian scripts without letting the visual features of one script dominate over others. This ensures that the fonts can be used successfully for both single and multi-script purposes. This project is led by [Ek Type](http://ektype.in/), a collective of type designers based in Mumbai focused on designing contemporary Indian typefaces.
