Webfont equivalent of Latin MN

June 12, 2015 12:54 PM

I am trying to find a web font that has the same aesthetics as the Latin subset of the MN fonts (Sinhala MN, Oriya MN, Bangla MN, ...) that are part of OSX. I am specifically interested in matching the capital C of the font.

The MN fonts have a custom Latin set not taken directly from another font. It's a lot like Times New Roman with the serif lopped off, which is an experiment a few people have done before, for example: Times Sans Serif. As a (seemingly abandonware?) stunt font this isn't necessarily going to render nicely at web body font sizes, though.

Maybe a dumb idea, but...perhaps you could tell Identifont about one of these fonts, and see what similar fonts it comes up with as you narrow it down?
