I have searched and searched for a typeface that was uniquely Māori, that I could use on a daily basis, there was none, every year I would search, yet none was to be found, until finally Ngā Mihi. It's also very affordable for myself being on a tight budget, especially in comparison with other typefaces, and what this font uniquely represents, I am beyond thankful 🥰. It's also very brave to place this out into the open world as it is a real treasure, but it will be appreciated as such by those who use it. I will happily adhere to the terms set out in it's use. The font for me, has whakawhanaungatanga, identity Māori, and healing, all wrapped up in one, and provides me with a feeling of satisfaction. Kei te mihia e au ki a koe.

Tēnā koe Tipene, e mihi ana ki a koe. Thank you so much for the lovely review, always love hearing how the font is received and appreciated. Enjoy using it in your projects :)
