Conclusion

Design characteristics

• Stroke contrast: Moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes to retain legibility at small sizes while preserving a calligraphic feel.
• Terminal style: Rounded terminals on many glyphs, giving a warm, humanist appearance rather than abrupt geometric cuts.
• Proportions: Slightly condensed horizontal proportions compared with some classical Tamil faces, enabling more characters per line—useful for UI and narrow columns.
• Glyph shapes: Traditional forms for core consonants and vowels are preserved; several conjunct and ligature shapes are simplified for clarity on screens.
• Diacritics/Matras: Clear separation and consistent metrics for vowel signs (uyir mei and other combining marks) to avoid collisions in complex clusters.
• Hinting and metrics: Typically tuned for web use with integer-based metrics to prevent layout shifts across sizes (varies by distribution).
