About Kalam
An Indian Type Foundry handwriting face designed for both Devanagari and Latin, modelled on writing with a flat-tipped pen held at a consistent angle. It feels informal but composed, closer to neat class notes than scrawl, and it holds legibility at smaller sizes than most handwriting fonts. Kalam works for educational products, annotations and multilingual designs needing a human touch. Pair it with a sturdy text face and use its three weights for gentle emphasis.
