mmtypeface

Burmese fonts for the web.

Overview

Go to the website, select some fonts you wanna use, copy the generated code, and place it inside your project.

You can also do a quick CDN check like this.

curl https://mmtypeface.vercel.app/api?family=Pyidaungsu:ital,wght@0,400;0,700

The output will look something like,

/* generated by mmtypeface api */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Pyidaungsu';
  src: url('/fonts/Pyidaungsu/Pyidaungsu-Regular.woff') format('woff'),
       url('/fonts/Pyidaungsu/Pyidaungsu-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Pyidaungsu';
  src: url('/fonts/Pyidaungsu/Pyidaungsu-Bold.woff') format('woff'),
       url('/fonts/Pyidaungsu/Pyidaungsu-Bold.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

FAQ

Why?

Inspired by Google Fonts, this is an attempt to create a CDN to serve burmese fonts which Google Fonts won't. This is an alternative to MMWebFonts with proper support for multiple font weights, font styles and font display properties.

How?

The site is hosted on vercel and API is served via NextJS API Routes, which is handled serverless-ly. The routes are cached for 24-hr until it gets re-deployed or gets a cold start.

x font is missing?

Contributions of fonts is easy. Just make sure you have the right to publish them before doing that. Then add you font to the public/fonts directory, and properly list your files in the fonts.yaml file.

Please make sure your fonts are in the woff and woff2 formats. Otherwise we won't accept. You can use transfonter to convert if you have to.

Is this a college project?

Kinda. Credit for the idea goes to @heinthanth.
