Makeda, is a typeface designed in three scripts which bring together different worlds. Hebrew, Amharic (Ethiopic) and Latin are harmonised with each other, while maintaining loyalty to the unique structure of each script. The story of Makeda, the Ethiopian Queen (also known as the Queen of Sheba) is a story of a powerful and mysterious woman, traveling to meet King Solomon in a history changing act. The typeface is intended for multi script use, suitable as a text typeface with generous x-height and large counters.
The typeface is part of MA in Typeface Design studies at Reading University
