Lekha began as an entry for the RIT 2024 competition, organized by the Rachana Institute of Typography, Sayahna Foundation, and KaChaTaThaPa Foundation. This project has been a significant learning journey, allowing me to dive deep into Malayalam type design—specifically the complexities of the Old Lipi style and its technical OpenType requirements.

After extensive development and testing, the project is entering its final stages. It currently features 9 weights and a growing library of glyphs. I am excited to announce that the first edition of Lekha Regular is now available for free!
