Description

Intended for continuous reading on the web (longer articles in online news, magazines, blogs), Yrsa supports over 92 languages. A special consideration was given to Central and East European languages and proper shaping of their accents. A version that also supports 2 languages in the Gujarati script (Gujarati and Kachchi), is available as Rasa . In terms of glyphs included Rasa is a superset of Yrsa and includes the complete Latin, but in Rasa the Latin may be adjusted to support the primary Gujarati font. It is a deliberate experiment in remixing existing typefaces: The Latin part began with Eben Sorkin's Merriweather . The Gujarati began with David Březina’s Skolar Gujarati .

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
