Description: smart Unicode Latin font family for literacy (more faces, limited charset)
 Andika ("Write!" in Swahili) is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font
 designed especially for literacy use, taking into account the needs of
 beginning readers. The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that
 will not be easily confused with one another.
 .
 A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching
 people to read. Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than some serif
 fonts can be. For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts
 that were available but not really suitable for beginning readers and
 writers. In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously cobble
 together letters from a variety of fonts in order to get the all of
 characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in
 confusing and unattractive publications. Andika addresses those issues.
 .
 Andika New Basic is a limited-character-set (no extended IPA or Cyrillic)
 version of Andika that includes regular, bold, italic and bold-italic faces.
 Andika New Basic gives a preview of what a whole range of new weights will
 eventually look like.
