What is the Ekamai™ font?
This is Ekamai, named after the district of Bangkok I now have the pleasure of calling home. It is based on Quinella, and was supposed to be a quick and easy reworking of that font into a “tight-not-touching” (rather than overlapping) version. As is often the case with quick and easy things, it turned out to be neither, and the vast majority of glyphs needed to be completely overhauled to fit the new system.
This face is deliciously plump face, with lovingly rendered curves and just the right amount of cuteness; perfect for food packaging (of the sweeter variety probably!), logos, magazine headlines and the like. It performs admirably in all caps settings. The numerals are expressive hybrid figures (somewhere between lining and oldstyle). The overall feel is friendly and soft, without being overtly saccharine.
Ekamai is equipped with subtle contextual alternates (which I’d recommend leaving on) to help with the tight fit, a handful of discretionary ligatures if that’s your thing, and a case feature for all caps settings. The stylistic alternates and stylistic set 1 features simply change the # glyph to an attractive numero. Automatic fractions are included along with wide-ranging language support.

You're probably thinking - Is Ekamai™ available to Download for free?
The short answer is no. Ekamai™ is definitely not available as a free download font. This is a premium font which mean that you will have to pay to download and use it in your project. We showcase fonts on SharedFonts that are almost all premium fonts. Feel free to waste valuable hours of your time searching for a free download of Ekamai™, but take it from me, you will not be successful in your quest. Just think how much time and effort you will save if you just pay for Ekamai™ and be done with it.
It is always best to pay for a premium font rather than trying to find an illegal download. The benefits of paying for Ekamai™ is that you get the license to use it leagally. If you're using an illegal version of Ekamai™ and you get caught, you or your client could get into some trouble legally with the publisher of Ekamai™.
Also it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to find Ekamai™ for free. Doing various searches on Google such as "Free Ekamai™ Download" you will see a lot of websites that will say "Free Download" but these are just attempts to get you to click on a link which will either take you to an ad landing page or you risk getting viruses on your computer. In the rare occasion that you do find a free download for Ekamai™ remember that it's illegal to use a font if you didn't pay for it!

Good luck with your purchase and future use of this font. :)
