Khmer TrueType Font
Khmer TrueType Font
Well, my newest project is a Khmer typeface. There are lots of Khmer typefaces out there, some have quite geometric shapes and thus seem to be a bit clunky. Some others use the Muol style what is normally used in headlines only. And then there are some fonts that reseble handwritten script. I wanted to create something different. That is, a slight italic typeface with clear forms and strokes to enhance its legibility also in smaller font sizes.
I am not a professional type designer and this project is rather just for fun. Thus, it will take some time for realization … so, stay tuned!

As you can see in the Specimen Sheet, nearly all the letters are done by now. But now comes the tricky part: I would like to make the font work on both PCs and Macs. But since Khmer is a veeery complex writing system, I haven't got any proper results so far in using OpenType and AAT features to make the font work correctly.
