A purposeful serif designed to serve Kannada and Latin scripts with equal care, making it a valuable tool for South Indian multilingual publishing.
About
Benne addresses the genuine need for quality typefaces supporting the Kannada script, which is spoken by tens of millions in Karnataka, India, and among diaspora communities. The Latin component is serviceable and harmonises reasonably well with the Kannada forms, enabling bilingual documents and publications. Its single weight is a practical limitation, but its multilingual purpose gives it clear and meaningful value.
Classification
Benne is a serif typeface designed primarily to support the Kannada script alongside Latin, with careful attention to the specific demands of South Indian typographic traditions. Its single weight limits typographic range.
