Publisher: Indian Type FoundryKatana is 21st-century script typeface that flourishes with energy. Its stylised letterforms feature a strong slant: about 40 °, or more than two times the amount of slant discovered in a normal italic typeface. Katana's angularity expresses an aura that combines the small refined information of calligraphy with the vibrancy of large-format graffiti lettering. Uncommon for a script typeface, Katana has numerous weights available; there are five in the family, and they range from Light through Strong. As one mixes from each weight to the next, the level of stroke contrast boosts. While Katana's Lightweight is monolinear, the Bold weight has very hight contrast in between its thick and thin strokes, which dials up the font's dynamic-feeling a lot more. The much heavier weights plainly appear like their letterforms have actually been composed with broad pens or brushes, and the heaviest typeface appears like a techno-style style crossed with the work of a traditional sign-painter. Each member of the Katana household has lining figures as its typeface's default numeral style, however there are likewise oldstyle figures available through an OpenType function. Plus, each font style consists of about 26 alternate glyphs, substituted into the text whenever the 'contextual alternates' feature is active. Katana is a great addition to an editorial designer's toolkit. It originates from Parimal Parmar, a designer in Ahmedabad/India.
