linja sike (lit. is a uniform line weight 'round line')sitelen pona typeface created by lipamanka in 2021. It is based on linja pona, but replaces the flat terminals and mitered corners with rounded terminals and intersections, hence the name.
The glyph repertoire includes all nimi ku, some name glyphs, and many experimental features such as diacritics for particles.
linja sike used to be very popular. However, lipamanka grew to dislike elements of the font, specifically because “it doesn’t reflect lipamanka’s current style” and because most common words were taken directly from linja pona. They eventually replaced the planned version 6 with a new font, linja lipamanka, causing linja sike to decline in use.
