About Alkalami

Alkalami is a scholarly Arabic serif typeface developed by SIL International for academic and religious publishing in the Hausa-language communities of West Africa, supporting a range of Arabic-script extensions used in the region. Its design draws from traditional manuscript letterforms, with carefully considered diacritics and vowel marks essential for proper Quranic and liturgical text. It represents careful, community-focused type design for an underserved writing tradition.
