Mina - Google Fonts

About

Mina is a contemporary geometric Bangla (Bengali) and Latin family. The family comes in two weights, Regular and Bold. It started by extending the Latin font Exo, initially designed by Natanael Gama. It works well as a display typeface, but is also designed to perform at small to intermediate text sizes.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
