Overview
Abhaya Libre is a unicode-compliant serif font family that revives the traditional Sinhala letterpress style with modern digital usability. It includes five weights ranging from light to heavy, each containing extensive glyph sets to support Sinhala, Latin, Pali, and Sanskrit texts. The design balances distinctive stroke contrast with optimized counters and ascender/descender sizes for screen clarity.
