Description

The BJCree (Baie-James Cree) font is a Canadian Syllabics font in the style preferred by Cree and Naskapi communities of Canada. It was originally designed in collaboration with the persons who speak these languages around James Bay ("Baie-James"). BJCree supports the full range of Algonquian (Cree and Ojibwa) languages.

BJCree's design is intended to be highly readable, consistent, and visually familiar. One design strategy for greater readability is to provide much more generous white space between words than in many other Canadian Syllabic fonts. Also, a consistent stroke width and curve radius for the rounded characters make the font broadly acceptable and widely used in literacy and education.
