Carida is a font based on the Aurebesh writing system used in various Star Wars media. The font includes all 34 letters, standard and alternative digits, and 15 punctuation symbols. Points and corners are slightly rounded, and most glyph pairs are kerned.
Glyphs are constructed on a grid of 32 columns and 20 rows with the ascender and descender adding 4 and 2 rows, respectively. The letter Shen has a wider glyph due to its leading diacritic symbol.

Web font versions in .woff and .woff2 are also provided. You can learn how to use web fonts on Mozilla's web fonts page.
