About Rasa Fonts
Intended for continuous reading on the web (longer articles in online news, magazines, blogs), Rasa supports over 92 languages in Latin and 2 in Gujarati script (Gujarati and Kachchi). The fonts supports a wide array of basic and compound syllables used in Gujarati. A Latin-only version is available as Yrsa. 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.

Who Designed Rasa?
Rosetta
Rosetta addresses the needs of global typography by working with collaborators to create original fonts for a polyphonic world. Their work has won numerous awards, but more importantly it has enabled people to read more easily in their native language. The Rosetta font library currently supports over 200 languages including Latin, Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Cyrillic, Inuktitut, and Indic scripts. Their fonts serve numerous clients including the BBC, RFE/RL, LG, and Harvard University Press.
Anna Giedryś
Anna is a designer with many interests—she favors fonts and graphics when working, and illustration as a welcomed distraction. She holds an MA in Visual Communication from the University of Fine Arts in Poznań, and discovered her interest in pattern and calligraphy while studying in Vilnius, Lithuania. She designed Signika, a type family for wayfinding, and collaborated on the open-source type families Yrsa and Rasa, which support the Latin and Gujarati scripts. After freelancing for several studios, Anna now works with Rosetta.
David Březina
Dr David Březina is a typeface designer, writer, lecturer, and chief type officer at Rosetta type foundry. He designed typefaces for a diverse palette of the world’s scripts, but focuses mostly on Gujarati and Latin.
