EK Type is a Mumbai-based collaborative type foundry specialising in high-quality, contemporary multi-script Indian typefaces.

(Introduction) Anek, as the meaning of the word suggests, is an exercise in multiplicity - multiple scripts designed in multiple weights and widths by multiple designers. Designed primarily for large sizes and short texts, this confident and contemporary variable type-family is characterised by distinct visual features, robust structures and rhythmic textures.

Its expansive design space allows Anek to don multiple personalities. At its most condensed, capsular forms keep structures compact for that graphic texture. On the wide end of the spectrum, the extra legroom lets each letter yawn and stretch into their message. But it is in the boldest weights that Anek comes alive. Sharp terminals and tapered joineries sparkle amidst regimented forms, making this ideal for setting titillating headlines or a magnetic word-mark.'
