About Padyakke Expanded One Fonts

Padyakke is a wide, airy, and friendly font for the Kannada writing system. Its gracefully balanced thin strokes rise up over sumptuously swollen bottoms. Padyakke was designed to pair with Aoife Mooney’s latin typeface BioRhyme Expanded; thus BioRhyme’s idosyncratic bowls, not-quite-perpendicular stroke terminals, and teardrop terminals are also in Padyakke.

Padyakke’s Kannada glyphs were designed by James Puckett. Padyakke’s Latin glyphs were designed by Aoife Mooney.
