lightweight Rubutun Kano font
Project homepage: https://software.sil.org/ruwudu/
Description
Ruwudu is a Rubutun Kano font for Ajami (Arabic script) writing systems in
the Kano region of Nigeria and Niger. Ruwudu is the Manga word for "writing."
This style of writing is used by the Manga people in Niger, West Africa.
This font was initially designed as a lighter or companion version of
Alkalami Regular.
The design of Ruwudu is loosely based on the footnotes and marginal notes
from the "market edition manuscripts." These were made with a monoline tool,
likely a ball point pen or something similar. It is vastly different from
script traditions of the Middle East.
