About Kalam
Kalam is a handwriting typeface crafted by the Indian Type Foundry that covers both Devanagari and Latin scripts with matching informal, pen-written energy. The three weights span Light to Bold, each capturing the natural variation in ink pressure and letterform construction found in genuine handwritten Devanagari. It's an excellent choice for educational content, journaling interfaces, and cultural projects that need an authentic handwritten feel across two major scripts.
