kanchenjunga-web-2.001 – Kirat Rai script for Sikkim Bantawa (web fonts) (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

The Kirat Rai script is used to write the Bantawa language in the Sikkim
state of India. Kanchenjunga is the first Unicode font family for this
script of South Asia. The Kirat Rai font is named after the third highest
mountain in the world, located on the border between Sikkim state in
northeast India and eastern Nepal. This peak represents the geographical
distribution of the Bantawa language.

The design of the font is loosely based on the handwriting style of Kirat
Rai which was used in some of the early reading primers for Kirat Rai.

Kirat Rai script is also called "Khambu Rai Lipi" in West Bengal.
