About Zahrah Tamil Font Family


Zahrah Tamil is a multi-purpose text typeface. In terms of its design, Zahrah Tamil reminds us of Didone-style serif families. For a cross-script design reference, this holds up pretty well. Text typefaces for the Tamil script traditionally have a vertically stressed system of thick and thin strokes much like what the Latin script shows in Bodoni and Didot-style typefaces. For most of the 19th century, Didone or ‘modern’ style typefaces were common everywhere the Latin script was printed. Didone types are characterized by extreme differences between the letters’ thick strokes and thin strokes. Typically, it did not matter whether they were found in a book’s small print or on a poster’s loudest sizes; Didones would always have visible contrast. Didones are still popular all over the world today. They are marked by clarity and geometric simplification and are seen in a wide variety of applications. From fashion or cosmetic labels to newspaper text and from academic publications to the annual reports of Fortune 500 companies, Didones may be used for almost any area of communication. There is no reason they shouldn’t shape the text of your next website or app. Zahrah Tamil is available in two formats: install it as a single Variable Font or use the family’s five static OpenType font files. Those range in weight from Light to Bold. While the static-format fonts offer a good intermediary-step selection, users who install the Variable Font have vastly greater control over their text’s stroke width. The Zahrah Tamil Variable Font’s weight axis allows users to differentiate between almost 1,000 possible font weights. That enables you to fine-tune your text’s exact appearance on-screen or in print. Michelle Parmar designed Zahrah Tamil at ITF.
