+ Menbere is an Ethiopic font with a Latin matched to it. Aleme Tadesse designed Menbere with assistance from Eben + Sorkin for the Latin. It is publishing by Sorkin Type Co. While contemporary in feeling, Menbere avoids being + influenced by the Latin script. In the design of Menbere, Aleme judiciously modernizes traditional Ethiopic using + low-contrast strokes that retain traditional gestures. Due to its multiple weights, and formal style, Menbere is an + excellent choice for use in corporate design, both in print and on screen as well as UI and wayfinding. Menbere is + also well suited to mixed script typesetting. +

+

+ Menbere is named after Alame’s mother. “Menbere” means “seat of + honor”. Menbere uses different word spaces for texts set in Ge’ez derived languages vs those in Latin for additional + ease in reading with the Ethiopic script benefiting from a more expansive word space. All Ge’ez script derived + languages are covered including Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre, Bilen, and Harari. +
